How Peppol IDs work in Belgium

Belgian companies are primarily identified on Peppol using two identifier schemes. The enterprise number (BCE / KBO), associated with scheme 0208, is a 10-digit number assigned by the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises. For example, the number 0417.497.106 is represented on Peppol as 0208:0417497106.

The same company is often also registered under its VAT number, associated with scheme 9925, in the form 9925:BE0417497106.

You can use either of these identifiers to find the company using the search above.
