The Verifactu obligation planned for January 2026 has been postponed to January 2027, as communicated by the Consejo de Ministros. Our export feature remains available and fully functional should you wish to activate it. Please contact our Customer Experience team for assistance.
Start invoicing with Verifactu without friction
Veri*factu is a system regulated by Ley 11/2021 that requires invoices to be generated, stored and transmitted in an unalterable, legible, accessible and verifiable manner. Once activated, any invoice issued is automatically sent to the AEAT and cannot be modified or deleted.
Scope and obligation. Compliance will be mandatory for all companies operating in Spain, except in territories with their own regulations (the Basque Country and Navarre).
What does Avantio’s Veri*factu module offer?
With the entry into force of the law, Avantio provides a Veri*factu-compatible module integrated into the new invoicing structure. It offers automatic submission to the AEAT, pre-validations, error management with resending, and templates adapted to the requirements.
Best practices
Activate Veri*factu only when you have complete tax details, configured rules and the electronic certificate ready.
Check the pre-validations before issuing to avoid later blocks or rejections.
Main advantages
Automatic submission of invoices to the AEAT, without manual exports.
Integrated validations prior to issuing.
Error management with correction and resending.
Adapted templates with all required elements (including QR code).
What functions will you have?
You will obtain a direct integration between Avantio and the AEAT that automatically submits invoices. You can manage submissions and check statuses from ‘Accounting’, both in the general list and in the owner’s list, by accessing the ‘Veri*factu Export’ section.

Pre-issue validations
Before issuing, the system checks the issue date, operation date, recipient details, document type and configured customer type:

Issue date | Day the invoice is generated
| Yes | Not editable after issue |
Operation date | Day the service was performed
| Yes | Editable before issuing; not afterwards |

| Yes | ‘Client' = simplified; ‘Company’ or ‘Self-employed’ = ordinary |
If any mandatory detail is missing, issuing is blocked until corrected.
Invoice templates
Available in Configuration → Templates → Accounting documents (side menu). They include all required fields and the QR code.
Helpful tip
Templates are editable, but the system will prevent saving versions that omit mandatory fields. Avoid unnecessary changes.
How to activate Veri*factu
Preparation checklist:
✅ Complete and update all legal entities (including those of property owners).
✅ Verify VAT codes and invoicing rules.
✅ Obtain your electronic certificate to sign and send invoices with Veri*factu.
✅ Check that your representative entity is registered if you invoice on behalf of third parties.
Once you have completed all the steps in the checklist, contact the Customer Experience team to activate the module.
What happens next?
Once activated, the system automatically sends invoices to the AEAT upon issue. Under the regulations, an invoice cannot be deleted or modified; the system guarantees the integrity and unalterability of records.
Electronic certificate: essential requirement
To comply with Veri*factu, your company must have a valid electronic certificate to digitally sign invoices.
A certificate securely identifies the entity and guarantees authenticity and integrity.
Common issuer: FNMT (Sede Electrónica).
Required format: .p12 or .pfx file.
Uploading the certificate: in Accounting, under Data export.
This step is essential for the system to generate and send signed invoices to the AEAT.
