RIVM follows the policy of the Central Government and the Central Government Purchasing Conditions (ARBIT, ARVODI and ARIV). For suppliers of the Central Government, the obligation applies to invoice via an electronic invoice (e-invoice).

Regulations for e-invoicing

To send and invoice to the Nationals institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), part of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport (VWS) there are a number of regulations.

  • You should only invoice for deliveries for which you have received a purchase order, order confirmation, signed contrct or confirmation letter from the RIVM.
  • Make sure you do not submit your invoices twice.
  • The supplier/contractor invoices the RIVM electronically in XML format.

What are the options for e-invoicing?

There are several ways to send and e-invoice correctly. Read more about this:

Please note!

  1. Failure to comply with the above regulations is a reason for the RIVM not to process your invoice and return it to you. You are then requested to submit an e-invoice in a correct manner.
  2. A paper or PDF invoice is explicitly not included in the definition of an e-invoice. The RIVM will therefore not process these invoices.
