Is e-invoicing mandatory in Norway?
For the public sector, yes, and B2B is next. Suppliers to Norwegian government bodies have invoiced electronically via EHF and Peppol for years. Under the law adopted in June 2026, businesses with Norwegian bookkeeping obligations must send structured e-invoices from 1 January 2027, and from 2030 their systems must also receive and process them.
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is the standard network for exchanging structured electronic invoices across Europe. Norway was one of the original Peppol pioneers, and the Norwegian Agency for Public and Financial Management (DFØ) is the Norwegian Peppol Authority, operating the national ELMA registry of Peppol recipients.
The national format is EHF Billing 3.0, the Norwegian profile of Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, compliant with the European standard EN 16931. Suppliers to central government have been required to invoice electronically since 2012, and since April 2019 every public body in Norway, from ministries to municipalities, must receive EN 16931 e-invoices via Peppol.
In June 2026, Norway adopted amendments to the Bookkeeping Act that extend e-invoicing to business-to-business trade. From 1 January 2027, businesses with Norwegian bookkeeping obligations must send structured e-invoices, and PDF invoices will no longer satisfy the requirement. From 1 January 2030, bookkeeping systems must also be able to receive and automatically process e-invoices. Connecting to Peppol now puts you ahead of both deadlines.
Norwegian e-invoices are exchanged as structured XML over the Peppol network. Invoicier generates and validates these formats for you.
On the Peppol network, Norwegian organisations are addressed by a participant identifier built from their official registration numbers.
