Free e-invoice validator

Check an XRechnung, ZUGFeRD / Factur-X or Peppol BIS 3.0 invoice against the official validation rules, and read it as a normal invoice. Free, no signup. Your file is checked in memory and never stored.

Or paste the XML

We don't store, log or share the file. It's read, checked and discarded within the request. Passing these rules means the file is technically valid against the published specifications. It doesn't guarantee that a buyer or tax authority will accept it, and it isn't tax advice.

What this checks

The validator reads the specification identifier in the file (BT-24) and applies the rules that belong to it, the same way the official KoSIT validator picks a scenario:

  • XRechnung 3.0 (UBL or CII): the XML schema, the EN 16931 rules and the XRechnung rules from KoSIT's official validator configuration.
  • ZUGFeRD 2.x / Factur-X (EN 16931, BASIC, EXTENDED), as XML or as a PDF with the XML embedded: the CII schema and the EN 16931 rules. MINIMUM and BASIC WL are flagged, because they aren't e-invoices under EN 16931.
  • Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 (UBL): the schema, the EN 16931 rules and the OpenPEPPOL rules.

Rule versions: EN 16931 validation artefacts 1.3.16, XRechnung 3.0.2 (KoSIT configuration of 2026-08-31), Peppol BIS Billing 3.0.20. For a ZUGFeRD PDF we check the embedded XML, not whether the PDF itself is a valid PDF/A-3.
