Sending Electronic Documents in Denmark

As a customer in Denmark, you can send electronic documents either by email (as attached files) or through the PEPPOL eDelivery Network. To promote the general adoption of PEPPOL, the Danish authorities mandate that all public authorities must be able to receive electronic documents through the PEPPOL eDelivery Network. Document Output can send to all public authorities in the PEPPOL BIS 3 format, which is the latest standard.

Continia Document Output connects you directly to the PEPPOL eDelivery Network, thereby eliminating the need to sign up with any third parties for integration. Once connected, you can start sending electronic documents to your customers in Denmark and other countries. To learn more about how to connect to the PEPPOL eDelivery Network, see Setting up the Continia Delivery Network.

Note

NemHandel, an established network in Denmark for nearly 20 years, was initially intended to be replaced by PEPPOL. However, plans for decommissioning changed with the introduction of a new NemHandel version in 2023. Through Continia Delivery Network, you can onboard to NemHandel and send invoices using both the current and future versions.

You can also export and send electronic documents to customers in other countries. Most widespread formats are supported, but not all. For a list of supported formats, see Supported Formats.
