Information for end of billing period

Since April 1, 2025, the state capital of Mainz has been receiving e-invoices via the Rhineland-Palatinate central e-invoice receipt system (ZRE). Regardless of the order value, this applies to all invoices for public contracts and concessions in Rhineland-Palatinate. This is regulated in § 1 and § 3 of the Rhineland-Palatinate E-Invoicing Ordinance (ERechVORP).

E-bill:

Email: zre-rlppoststelle.rlpde
Route ID: 073150000000-001-35
Format: XRechnung in the current standard or ZUGFeRD in the XRechnung profile

The sender address must be registered once in the Rhineland-Palatinate Central E-Invoice Inbox.

Further information is available on the Rhineland-Palatinate website. The link can be found at the bottom of the page.

The billing address itself remains unchanged:

State Capital Mainz
Office (number or name)
P.O. Box 3825
55028 Mainz

We accept PDF invoices at the email address digitale.rechnungstadt.mainzde.

The following rules must be observed:

  • Each email may only contain one invoice. Attachments must be sent within the same PDF file.
  • If attachments to the invoice are sent as separate files in the same email, certain file names must be used.
      • The file name of the invoice must contain the word "Invoice."
      • The file name of the attachment must contain the word "Attachment," "Appendix," "Attachment," or "Delivery Note." Example: Invoice_123.pdf, Attachment1_123.pdf, Attachment2_123.pdf, Delivery Note_123.pdf
  • The PDF files must not contain forms, be encrypted, or be password-protected.
  • This billing address must not be used for correspondence such as inquiries or reminders, as incoming emails are automatically processed and not read.
  • Invoices sent to other email addresses of the state capital of Mainz, for example to employee email addresses, will not be processed and will be considered not received.

Please note that failure to comply with the above requirements may result in a delay in payment or, in individual cases, the city of Mainz reserves the right to refuse payment.

Reminders do not constitute invoice documents and must therefore be sent directly to the City Treasury Department mahnungen@stadt.mainz.de mahnungenstadt.mainzdemahnungenstadt.mainzde including a copy of the invoice being reminded.

General requirements for an invoice:

Electronic invoice documents include both invoices and credit notes. On the invoice document, enter the commitment number, which you can find on the order letter or order form. If the commitment number is missing, payment may be delayed. If no commitment number is available, please request it from the client (authority).
