Sample forms

German hotel registration (Meldeschein)

In German. Guest registration for hotels under §§ 29, 30 of the German Federal Registration Act (BMG), with a handwritten signature on the screen.

What is ZUGFeRD?

ZUGFeRD is the German-French standard for electronic invoices, identical to Factur-X in France. A ZUGFeRD invoice is a PDF/A-3 that people read like any PDF, with the invoice data embedded as XML according to the European standard EN 16931, so accounting software can book it without retyping. The XRechnung profile is required for invoices to German public authorities. In Germany, businesses have had to be able to receive e-invoices since 1 January 2025; the obligation to issue them follows in stages until 2028.

With the ZUGFeRD test invoice above you see it in practice: every submission is turned into a valid e-invoice. Companies without their own invoicing software can design their invoice template on the eForms Server and send compliant invoices this way.

For more on e-invoicing, and for our tools to create, read and convert ZUGFeRD and XRechnung invoices, also as a web service, visit www.zugferdpro.com.
