From 18 February 2027, every EV, Industrial, and LMT battery placed on the EU market must have a Digital Product Passport registered with the European Commission. You create the passport, you authorise submission, and the platform files it to the registry on your instruction.
02 — What the registry is
A central index of every passport. Pointers, not payloads.
The registry does not store the full passport data — it stores references. We host 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.
Battery Pass EU holds
The data
- Full Annex XIII compliance data
- Carbon footprint declaration (Article 7)
- Supply-chain documentation
- GS1 Digital Link QR code
03 — Submission flow
Five steps from passport to registry.
The full lifecycle of a single submission. Steps 02 onward are handled by us automatically — you create the passport in step 01 and watch it move through the rest.
- 01
Create your passport
Enter all Annex XIII fields in Battery Pass EU. Validate completeness before submission.
- 02
You authorise filing
On your instruction, the platform prepares each registration from your passport data, for your verified economic operator.
- 03
Registry validates
The Commission checks Annex XIII completeness and schema compliance.
- 04
Registry ID issued
A unique Registry ID is assigned to your passport and stored in Battery Pass EU.
- 05
Passport registered
Your battery is cleared for EU customs. QR scan at any port confirms registration.
BUILT FOR THE CUTOVER
Ready for the cutover — resubmitted the moment we go live.
Per-passport readiness checks
Each passport is checked against the registration requirements — a verified economic operator, an active public passport, a resolvable GS1 Digital Link and the mandatory Annex XIII fields — and any gap is named in plain language before you submit.
An auditable submission log
Every attempt is recorded — schema version, payload content hash, registry response and outcome — so what you filed and when is one export away.
Automatic resubmission at go-live
The EU DPP Registry became operational on 20 July 2026, with a testing environment alongside it. Until we have completed onboarding and verified conformance with the published specification, filings carry a placeholder reference. On cutover, every active passport is resubmitted to carry a real one — oldest first, once each, never double-filed.
eIDAS sealing readiness
Under the registry Implementing Regulation the qualified electronic seal sits at operator verification — the enrolment step — not on each submission. A legal person attains verified economic-operator status by evidencing its identity with a qualified electronic seal supported by a qualified certificate from a QTSP on an EU Trusted List (Article 4(2)), and that status lasts until the credential expires, to a maximum of three years. The registry's automatic checks on a submission cover semantic conformity, coherence between the registry data and the passport payload, granularity, commodity code, and the back-up link. Dynamic Systems Consulting Limited holds a qualified eSeal and completed its economic-operator verification in July 2026.
Source: Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1778, adopted 16 July 2026 (OJ 17.7.2026, in force 6 August 2026), Articles 4 and 8. Checked against the adopted text on 27 July 2026 — the submission seal check present in the draft was removed before adoption.
04 — Operator verification
Verify once in the registry. Renew within three years.
Only a verified economic operator can register passports (Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/1778, Article 4). A company proves its identity by sealing a Commission-issued declaration with a qualified electronic seal from a qualified trust service provider. The status lasts until the seal certificate expires, and at most three years. The registry issues no operator number and there is no EORI step. You record your verified operator once in Settings, and the platform shows when verification is due to expire.
Authorised Representatives
Each registration is made by a verified economic operator. The AR account keeps each client's passports separate, and the client picker in the wizard ties each passport to the right manufacturer.
05 — Rejection handling
If the registry rejects, we tell you exactly why.
The registry performs validation checks. If rejected, we show 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. Battery Pass EU 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.
Economic operator not verified
Registration needs a verified economic operator. Complete verification in the EU DPP Registry with a qualified electronic seal (companies) or qualified electronic signature (sole traders), then record the operator in Settings.
Schema mismatch
The passport was created against an outdated Annex XIII version. Battery Pass EU tracks schema updates automatically.
06 — Service Provider certification
The scheme is not yet adopted.
EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 establishes a certification scheme for DPP Service Providers under Article 2(32) ESPR via delegated act. The scheme has not yet been adopted by the European Commission. Our technical and operational practices are designed to align with the expected requirements of the anticipated scheme. We make no claim of certification at this time.

08 — Common questions
Asked and answered.
Do I need to register with the EU registry directly?
Yes, once. Your organisation enrols in the EU DPP Registry through EU Login and becomes a verified economic operator by sealing a declaration the Commission provides. Companies use a qualified electronic seal; sole traders use a qualified electronic signature. The registry issues no separate operator number. At enrolment you give an identifier your seal certificate already carries, such as your national trade register number, LEI or VAT number. Verified status lasts until the seal expires, and at most three years.
What is a DPP Service Provider and why does it matter?
A DPP Service Provider is a company like Battery Pass EU that hosts battery passport data and submits to the registry on behalf of economic operators. The European Commission is establishing a certification scheme for providers under Article 2(32) ESPR; the scheme has not yet been adopted by the Commission.
What happens to my passports before you go live with the registry?
The EU DPP Registry became operational on 20 July 2026, but Battery Pass EU remains in mock-submission mode until we have completed registry onboarding and verified conformance with the published specification. Your passport data is fully stored and compliant with Annex XIII. When you click Submit, a mock submission is created. At cutover, Battery Pass EU moves to live submission and resubmits your active passports — no action required from you.
Can I submit passports to the registry myself without using Battery Pass EU?
Yes — the registry will provide a direct submission API. However, this requires your own integration, schema validation, error handling, and polling logic. Battery Pass EU handles all of this automatically, including status tracking and error-resolution guidance.
What if I already have a battery on the market without a registered passport on 18 February 2027?
EU market surveillance authorities can take enforcement action including product withdrawal, fines, and customs holds. The penalty framework varies by member state but non-compliance is a significant commercial and regulatory risk.
How long does registry validation take?
The EU DPP Registry became operational on 20 July 2026 with a testing environment, but its production validation timings are not yet something we can quote from experience. Battery Pass EU's mock mode simulates a validation window of approximately 90 seconds for testing purposes. Once we are live, Battery Pass EU polls for status updates automatically every 5 minutes.
Operator verification
Verifying as an economic operator
Before any passport can be registered, the operator behind it must be verified in the Commission's DPP Registry — the one step no platform can do for you. Our step-by-step walk-through covers the qualified electronic seal, the identifier format, and the failure modes to avoid, based on our own verification in the registry's acceptance environment.
