- Germany has published the German Electronic Business Address (GEBA), a standardized scheme for uniquely identifying businesses in electronic document exchange.
- GEBA is based on the German Business Identification Number and supports complex internal routing and international interoperability, especially within the Peppol network.
- Use of GEBA is voluntary, but its ISO/IEC 6523 registration signals alignment with global standards.
- German authorities will retire outdated XRechnung profiles in Peppol by August 2026, urging migration to XRechnung 3.0.
- These steps advance Germany’s readiness for large-scale e-invoicing, standardizing identification and document exchange.
