Prerequisites for Registration
Before registering for the Fatoora portal, ensure you have:
- Active VAT registration with ZATCA
- Valid Commercial Registration (CR)
- Authorized signatory credentials
- E-invoicing compliant software
Step 1: Access the Fatoora Portal
Navigate to the ZATCA Fatoora portal at fatoora.zatca.gov.sa. You can access this through your ZATCA account.
Step 2: Generate CSR (Certificate Signing Request)
Your e-invoicing software must generate a CSR containing:
- Organization name
- VAT registration number
- Branch details (if applicable)
- Serial number
Step 3: Submit for Compliance CSID
Submit your CSR to ZATCA to receive a Compliance Certificate Security Identifier (CSID). This allows you to test your integration.
Step 4: Complete Compliance Testing
Use the Compliance CSID to submit test invoices. You must successfully submit all required invoice types:
- Standard tax invoice
- Simplified tax invoice
- Credit notes
- Debit notes
Step 5: Request Production CSID
After passing compliance testing, request your Production CSID. This certificate is used for actual invoice submission.
Step 6: Go Live
With your Production CSID, you can begin submitting real invoices to ZATCA.
