Detailed facts about Peppol-ID
To be identified in the Peppol network, a so-called Peppol ID is required. It is a unique ID number that every recipient must have in order for the transfer of documents within Peppol to function. The ID number is the identification used in addressing, allowing the contracted access point to know how and where the document should be sent.
How to create a Peppol ID
The Peppol ID is assigned when you want to register for the Peppol network and is automatically assigned by the holder of the access point you have chosen. If a company wants to be provided with several Peppol IDs, this is absolutely permitted. For example, different units or departments within the company may need separate IDs to keep the recipients apart. It is also possible to have different IDs for different documents.
The ID number
Each Peppol ID is created based on a defined template and consists of two parts where the initial prefix is followed by an identification number. 0007 means that the following identification number is a Swedish organization number. 0088 means that the digits immediately following are a GLN number.
Example:
0007:XXXXXXXXXX (Swedish organization number)
0088: YYYYYYYYYYYYYYY (GLN number)
In practice, a Peppol ID can be compared to a telephone number, bank giro or Swish. As the sender, you only need to know the short number. The rest of the numbers are there for technical reasons and are basically just information for the access point.

How do I find out about a Peppol ID?
If you send via Inexchange in Peppol, you never need to think about the recipient's Peppol ID.
We at Inexchange always keep track of the Peppol ID for our customers.
The ID number does not need to be included in the document. It is added automatically in the service.
If you still want to search on your own, it is of course possible.
The easiest way is, of course, to contact the recipient directly and ask. The recipient usually knows their number. Another option is to use the Peppol Directory, but this requires that the recipient's access point publishes its recipients there. If you as a recipient are unsure about this, contact your access point for information.
