EU Registry — Getting Your Operator ID.

What an Operator ID is, where to get it from the Commission, and how to enter it in EU Digital Passport Processor.

What is an Operator ID?

An EU Registry Operator ID is a unique identifier issued by the European Commission when an economic operator registers to use the EU DPP Registry. It acts as your authorising credential — EU Digital Passport Processor submits passports to the registry on your behalf using this ID.

Who needs one?

Every economic operator that places batteries on the EU market under the Battery Regulation:

  • Battery manufacturers (EU and non-EU)
  • EU importers
  • Authorised Representatives
  • Distributors who create passports

When can I register?

The EU DPP Registry is expected to launch in July 2026. The operator registration process opens at the same time. We will update this article with the direct link to the Commission registration portal when it becomes available.

No Operator ID needed until July 2026EU Digital Passport Processor operates in mock submission mode until then. You do not need an Operator ID to create passports or run mock submissions. Register as soon as the portal opens to avoid delays.

Authorised Representatives

As an AR, one Operator ID covers all manufacturer clients you represent. You do not need a separate ID per client. EU Digital Passport Processor's AR account type is designed for this — manage passports for multiple manufacturers under a single account and a single Operator ID.
