Background

What is a PAC, and what does being one involve?

An Authorized Certification Provider is a company the SAT empowers to certify, on its behalf, the digital tax receipts issued by taxpayers. Without that certification a CFDI has no fiscal validity.

1

Document validation

We verify that the receipt complies with the current technical standard, that the issuer's digital signature is correct, and that its Digital Seal Certificate is valid and not revoked.

2

Folio assignment and stamping

We assign the fiscal folio (UUID) and apply the SAT digital seal. That set of data is the "stamp" that turns the document into a valid CFDI.

3

Delivery to the SAT and the issuer

We return the certified receipt to the taxpayer and transmit it to the SAT within the deadlines set by the authority.

4

Retention and availability

We retain certified receipts for the period the regulation requires and keep the infrastructure available with redundancy and business continuity schemes.

What keeping the authorization requires

  • Meeting the technical, information security and confidentiality requirements set by the SAT.
  • Submitting to the verifications and audits the authority determines.
  • Guaranteeing the availability of the certification service and operational continuity.
  • Making a free CFDI generation tool publicly available.
  • Publishing the authorization details, as done on this page.

This section describes the PAC figure in general terms. The applicable rules are set out in the current Resolución Miscelánea Fiscal and in the technical documents published by the SAT.

Obligation met

Free invoicing application

As part of the obligations we assumed when we obtained the authorization, we offer a free CFDI generation application available to the taxpaying public.

The link to this application is published on the SAT website, within the official list of authorized certification providers, so that any taxpayer can find it and use it at no cost.

Where to find it

On the SAT portal, under Proveedores autorizados de certificación de CFDI, the list of PACs is published together with each provider's link to its free tool. Ours appears there, associated with authorization 56179.

Commercial service

Stamping services for companies and products

Beyond the free application, we provide commercial stamping services to a range of customers, software vendors and invoicing products that need to certify CFDI documents at volume.

Among the products that rely on our stamping infrastructure is Facturador.com.
