Question 13128 — businesses

Summary

Ms. Laure Lavalette alerts the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the risks of identity theft linked to the entry into force of the electronic invoicing obligation on September 1, 2026. From this date, all companies, whatever their size (VSEs, SMEs, micro-entrepreneurs, liberal professions) will have to use an invoicing system electronic for their inter-company exchanges. The practical implementation of this reform raises serious concerns in terms of digital security. In fact, contrary to the initial project providing for a public platform accompanied by secure authentication via FranceConnect+ or France Identity, the State ultimately delegated this competence to around a hundred private service providers. However, most of them do not offer sufficient guarantees in terms of identity verification. Creating an account is often limited to simply entering basic information, such as name, SIRET and email, or even sending a copy of an identity document, a procedure now considered obsolete and risky. These practices open the way to large-scale usurpations, facilitated by the open data dissemination of information relating to companies and by the massive circulation of compromised personal data. Every year, more than 300,000 people are victims of identity theft according to the Ministry of the Interior. If no security measures are taken, several million entrepreneurs could be exposed to these frauds in the coming years, with dramatic consequences, such as scams, unjustified debts, or even legal proceedings against innocent victims. Also, she asks him to specify whether the Government intends to postpone the entry into force of this obligation, the time to guarantee a sufficient level of security in the authentication of users and whether it plans to create a national public electronic invoicing platform, like other devices such as ANTS, allowing authentication via FranceConnect+ or France Identity.
