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-rlp@poststelle.rlp.de
Routing ID: 073150000000-001-35
Format: XRechnung in the current standard or ZUGFeRD in the XRechnung profile
The sender’s address must be registered once in the Rhineland-Palatinate Central E-Invoice Inbox.
Further information is available on the Rhineland-Palatinate state website. The link can be found at the bottom of the page.
The billing address itself remains unchanged:
State Capital of Mainz
, Office (number or name)

We accept PDF invoices at the email address digitale.rechnungstadt.mainzde.
The following rules must be observed:
- Each email may contain only one invoice. Attachments must be included within the same PDF file.
- If attachments to the invoice are sent as separate files in the same email, specific file names must be used.
-
- The file name of the invoice must contain the word “Invoice.”
- The file name of the attachment must include the word “Anlage,” “Anhang,” “Attachment,” or “Lieferschein.” Example: Invoice_123.pdf, Attachment1_123.pdf, Attachment2_123.pdf, Delivery_Slip_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 sent to this address are processed automatically and not read.
- Invoices sent to other email addresses of the State Capital of Mainz—for example, to employees’ email addresses—will not be processed and are considered not to have been received.
Please note that failure to comply with the aforementioned requirements may result in a delay in payment; in individual cases, the City of Mainz also reserves the right to refuse payment.
Reminder notices do not constitute invoice documents and must therefore be sent directly to the City Treasury Department (girokassestadt.mainzde), along with a copy of the invoice for which the reminder was issued.
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).
