DGII extended the deadline for free digital certificates required under its electronic invoicing system ahead of 2025–2026 compliance mandates.
The General Directorate of Internal Taxes (DGII) of the Dominican Republic announced, on 8 October 2025, an extension of the deadline for obtaining free digital certificates used in the DGII’s free invoicing system.
The DGII stated that the these certificates are available to taxpayers who meet the requirements to become electronic issuers through the free invoicing system, including individuals and legal entities, public or private, as well as non-legal entities classified as Large Local, Medium, Small, Micro, Unclassified, and State Entities.
Accordingly, the following is specified:
- Digital certificates will be issued to taxpayers who submit a request for the Free Invoicing System through the option available in the Virtual Office (OFV).
- The digital certificates are for exclusive use within the Free Invoicing System provided by the DGII.
- The digital certificates will be valid for one year from the date of issuance. Renewal of the certificate, once expired, must be managed and paid for by the taxpayer.
The DGII will announce in due course the expiration date of this facility, encouraging taxpayers to apply for their digital certificate as soon as possible in order to take advantage of this initiative and ensure their integration into the electronic invoicing system within the established timeframe.
Earlier, DGII announced that all taxpayers must adopt electronic invoicing by 15 May 2026 under Law No. 32-23. Large and medium taxpayers were required to comply by 15 November 2025, after which non-compliance would result in penalties.
