The digital certificate is what enables you to issue electronic invoices in Colombia. We arrange it for you: you request it, identify yourself by video call and download your file. The whole validation process is remote.
One file .p12 that identifies your company and signs every document before DIAN validates it.
Your invoicing system builds the XML, signs it with your certificate and transmits it. DIAN validates it, assigns the CUFE and only then does the document have fiscal effect. The signature is the credential proving that XML came from your tax ID and nobody else's.
If you run several companies, you need one per tax ID.
The same signature covers all six DIAN requires. You do not buy one per type.
Any individual or company obliged to invoice electronically: retail, restaurants, independent professionals, distributors and companies of any size. Also anyone who has received a DIAN requirement or become VAT-registered.
It is issued with a term of 1 or 2 years. When it expires you can no longer sign and invoicing stops, so it is worth renewing before the date. We warn you when it approaches.
One alone signs everything DIAN can require of you for your activity. There are no separate modules and no special certificates per document type.
We check that the tax registration carries the electronic-invoicing obligation, that the chamber of commerce certificate is within 30 days and that the legal representative is the right one. If anything is missing, we tell you before charging you. Then we arrange the video call at a time that suits you and hand you the file with its password.
The signature is the same in both cases. What changes is who appears as the holder and which documents validation asks for.
Traders, independent professionals and VAT-registered individuals invoicing in their own name. The holder of the signature is that same individual, with their national ID card.
S.A.S., Ltda., S.A. and other company types. The certificate is issued in the company's name and the holder is its legal representative, exactly as they appear on the certificate of existence.
Both bring the complete process with remote validation, free activation and guidance through the installation. VAT is already included.
Prices already include tax. Those marked with * are charged in US dollars because that product is not sold in soles.
Everything goes in scanned and legible, as a PDF or a clear photo. Nothing on paper and nothing notarised. Tap your case and see the exact list.
You are the taxpayer and also the holder of the signature. You make the video call yourself, ID in hand, and nobody else is involved.
The only thing we usually send back is the tax registration: it has to be up to date and carry the electronic-invoicing obligation.
The signature is issued in the company's name and the person validated is the legal representative on record at the chamber of commerce. It has to be that person who joins the video call.
If the representative changed recently, update the certificate of existence first: validation is done against whoever appears today.
It is what holds the process up most. If the tax registration does not have the electronic-invoicing obligation registered, DIAN will not enable the tax ID to issue even with the signature in place.
It is updated in DIAN's portal, with your own login. We review your tax registration before charging you and tell you exactly which code is missing and where it goes.
Renewing means issuing a new signature: another file, another password, another serial number. The process is identical to the first and equally remote.
Get it started two weeks beforehand before expiry. We write to you when the date approaches so invoicing is never interrupted.
A signature sitting in a folder is no use to anyone. We load it into your invoicing system, configure the resolution and the prefixes, and transmit a test invoice until DIAN validates it.
No more, no less. Anything else you see on this page you can confirm with support before paying.
The signature is the same in both cases: same file, same six documents. What changes is how long it lasts and how many times you repeat the process.

The signature is the credential; the invoicing system is the software. Fastura Colombia issues DIAN's six documents, has a reseller panel for several tax IDs, an API and a source-code option.
From See Fastura Colombia →The SUNAT equivalent is the tax digital certificate, one per tax ID. Same scheme: a 100% remote process, a video call and the file the same day, with terms of 1, 2 or 3 years.

I thought I would have to go to an office in Bogotá. It was a ten-minute video call with my ID in hand and that same afternoon I was invoicing from Medellín.
My tax registration did not have the electronic-invoicing code and I had no idea. They spotted it before charging me and guided me on WhatsApp to update it the same day.
We run four of the group's tax IDs and they warned us a month before each expiry. We renewed without interrupting invoicing for a single day.
You buy, we validate you by video call and you download your file. Use BUHOCD1 or BUHOCD2 at checkout.
