Fiscalization software for Albania: what the law requires
Law 87/2019 makes real-time invoice reporting mandatory in Albania: B2G since January 2021, non-cash B2B since July 2021, cash B2C since September 2021. Every invoice is signed with a digital certificate issued by AKSHI and reaches the Albanian tax authority (DPT) before the customer gets it. Your software creates the NSLF (the issuer's security code) before sending, the Central Invoice Platform returns the NIVF (the invoice number), and both print with a QR code. Our fiscalization software covers the whole chain:
- Real-time transmission to the Central Invoice Platform for every invoice
- AKSHI digital certificate provisioning, signing and secure key storage
- NIVF / NSLF fiscal identifiers and verification QR codes on every document
- UBL 2.1 / UN-CEFACT XML generation and validation
- 5-year electronic archival and audit-ready logging built in
Integration, not another boxed POS
Most vendors sell a closed product and ask you to drop the systems you already run. We do the opposite: we build the e-invoicing integration into your ERP, accounting suite, online store or custom platform, behind an API your developers can extend.
- Connectors for existing ERP, POS, e-commerce and custom back-office systems
- Resilient queueing so offline sales still reconcile once connectivity returns
- Reconciliation and reporting against the Self-Care portal of the tax administration (DPT)
- A documented API and SDK your in-house team can extend
How we deliver a compliant integration
We audit your documents, volumes and stack, then build against the tax authority's test environment before touching production. A parallel run lets you compare fiscalized output before cutover. After go-live we monitor every transmission and keep the integration current as the rules change.
- Free review of document types, volumes, stack and data flow
- Build and test against the tax authority sandbox before production
- Certificate provisioning, XML and NIVF/NSLF validation end to end
- Parallel run and supervised cutover to minimise risk
- Monitoring, rejection alerts and ongoing regulatory updates

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is fiscalization software in Albania?
Software that signs every invoice with an AKSHI digital certificate and sends it in real time to the Albanian tax authority (DPT) before the customer receives it. The software generates its NSLF, the tax system returns the NIVF, and both appear on the document with a QR code. Without compliant software you cannot legally issue invoices in Albania.
Can you integrate fiscalization into our existing ERP or POS?
Yes, that is our core difference from boxed vendors. Our integration layer handles certificate signing, UBL 2.1 / XML generation, real-time transmission and reconciliation, behind an API your ERP, accounting suite, POS or online store calls. You keep the systems you already run.
What does a fiscalization integration cost?
Our rate is EUR 35-55 per hour. Total cost depends on scope: a connector for one existing system is far smaller than a multi-entity platform. After a short call we send a free written estimate. We work as a dedicated team, on a project basis or as staff augmentation.
How long does a fiscalization project take?
A connector for one existing system can be live in a few weeks; a multi-system platform takes longer. The drivers are the number of systems, document types, volumes and certificate setup with AKSHI. You get a concrete timeline with the free estimate.
What is NIVF on an Albanian invoice?
NIVF (Unique Invoice Identification Number) is the identifier Albania's central fiscalization platform returns when an invoice is registered in real time. It proves the invoice was fiscalized and appears on the printed invoice, usually inside the QR code. Software we build requests and stores the NIVF automatically for every issued invoice.
What is NSLF and who generates it?
NSLF (Invoice Issuer Security Number) is a security code your invoicing software generates using the taxpayer's electronic certificate before an invoice is transmitted. It cryptographically identifies the issuer; together with the NIVF it makes every fiscalized Albanian invoice verifiable. Our integrations generate the NSLF and handle certificate management for you.
