ASP accreditation checklist

A practical path from eligibility under MD 64 / MD 56 through the MoF Accreditation Portal, status codes, and OpenPeppol / FTA testing actions. Always follow the live MoF PDFs and portal text.

1. Confirm eligibility (MD 64 / MD 56)

Before you open the portal, confirm you can meet every Article 5 condition as replaced by MD 56 of 2026. Binding text is in the PDFs; this is a working summary.

    Complete OpenPeppol conformance tests and remain an active Peppol-certified Service Provider.

    MD 56 of 2026
  • Minimum 2 years PSP Product experience

    MD 56 Article 5(bis): the PSP Product must have been in operation for at least 2 years (experience may be held by you or a permitted third party).

2. Access the MoF accreditation portal

From the official MoF User Guide: login is via UAE Pass. Wrong or inaccurate application data can hurt approval, and the Service Provider is solely responsible for the information submitted.

  • Create / verify UAE Pass

    If you do not have UAE Pass, create an account at uaepass.ae first, then authenticate with the UAE Pass mobile app.

  • Open the accreditation portal

    Use the MoF service page for Accreditation of eInvoicing Service Providers, then complete UAE Pass login.

    The portal Home page lists mandatory documents for the application. Prepare complete, accurate uploads before you submit.

4. Understand status codes

Status labels from the MoF Accreditation Portal User Guide:

  • Under eInvoicing Office review

    MoF is reviewing your application. No action needed from you right now.

  • Awaiting Service Provider response

    MoF is waiting on you (for example missing information or upload of test results). Check Actions and the deadline.

    MoF has received your response to a requested action.

  • Service Provider pre-approved

    Pre-approval accreditation granted with a certificate.

  • Service Provider accredited

    Full accreditation granted with a certificate. Application closes.

  • Application rejected

    Application rejected and closed.

5. Complete portal actions when requested

Use Respond in the Actions column. Some actions are always required later in the journey; others appear only when MoF asks.

  • Additional information required

    Upload amendments or missing supporting documents if MoF finds non-compliant or incomplete material.

  • ISO 22301 certificate (if applicable)

    If you answered “No” to holding Business Continuity ISO 22301 on the application, upload the certificate once acquired, within the stated deadline.

6. After pre-approval / accreditation

Pre-approved providers appear on MoF’s public list. Businesses should still verify the live directory. Final accreditation follows successful testing and validation under MD 64.

  • Confirm listing on the MoF ASP directory

    Check the official Pre-Approved eInvoicing Service Providers page for your legal name.
