EU DPP Registry
The EU registry launches July 2026.
Is your passport ready?
From February 2027, every EV and industrial battery placed on the EU market must have a Digital Product Passport registered with the EU Commission. EU Digital Passport Processor™ handles registration automatically — you create the passport, we submit it.
What is the EU registry?
A central index of every battery passport on the EU market
The registry does not store the full passport data — it stores references. EU Digital Passport Processor™ hosts the data. The registry holds the pointer. When customs officers scan the QR code, they query the registry which directs them to the live passport data.

How submission works
Five steps from passport to registry
Create your passport
Enter all Annex XIII fields in EU Digital Passport Processor™. Validate completeness before submission.
EU Digital Passport Processor™ submits
We submit to the EU registry using your Operator ID as the authorising credential.
Registry validates
The Commission checks Annex XIII completeness and schema compliance.
Registry ID issued
A unique Registry ID is assigned to your passport and stored in EU Digital Passport Processor™.
Passport registered
Your battery is cleared for EU customs. QR scan at any port confirms registration.
Operator ID
What is an EU Registry Operator ID?
Every economic operator placing batteries on the EU market must register with the Commission to receive an Operator ID. This is a one-time registration. EU Digital Passport Processor™ submits all your passports using your Operator ID as the authorising credential — you only need to register once and enter it in your Settings.
Authorised Representatives
One Operator ID covers all manufacturer clients you represent. EU Digital Passport Processor™'s AR account type is built for this — manage passports for multiple manufacturers under a single Scale account.
Rejection handling
What happens if the registry rejects a submission?
The registry performs validation checks. If rejected, EU Digital Passport Processor™ shows the specific field that failed and guidance on how to fix it. Correct the data and resubmit — there is no penalty for rejected submissions, only for not having a registered passport when batteries are on the market.
Missing mandatory field
The most common rejection reason. EU Digital Passport Processor™ prevents this with full Annex XIII validation before you submit.
Duplicate identifier
The passport number is already registered by another operator. Use a unique passport number.
Operator ID not recognised
Your EU Registry Operator ID has not been activated. Register with the Commission first, then add your ID to Settings.
Schema mismatch
The passport was created against an outdated Annex XIII version. EU Digital Passport Processor™ automatically tracks schema updates.
Service Provider Certification
EU Digital Passport Processor™ is applying for DPP Service Provider certification
The European Commission is establishing a certification scheme for DPP service providers. Certified providers meet strict standards for data security, interoperability, and availability. EU Digital Passport Processor™ is actively preparing for certification — ensuring your passports are submitted by a provider the Commission trusts.
