Unique Fiscalization Code: how to get it in EDI before using a SEF

In short: The Unique Fiscalization Code (Kodi Unik për Fiskalizim) is the code ATK issues to a business before it starts fiscalizing with Electronic Fiscal Software (SEF), and it is a prerequisite for using a SEF. It is requested in the EDI electronic system, under «Fiskalizimi» → «Kërkesë për Fiskalizim», a service ATK announced on 9 July 2026 under Administrative Instruction (MF) no. 01/2026. Businesses that will start with a SEF and those moving from a fiscal device (PEF) to a SEF apply. If you already have the code, EDI shows it there; otherwise you submit the electronic request.

What the Unique Fiscalization Code is and why you need it

Under Administrative Instruction 01/2026, a fiscal receipt in Kosovo can also be issued by certified software (SEF), not only by a fiscal device with fiscal memory. Before a SEF connects to ATK’s system, the business has to be identified for fiscalization. That is the role of the Unique Fiscalization Code: ATK says in its notice that the purpose of the new EDI service is to issue taxpayers this code and that the code is a prerequisite for using a SEF.

In practice, the order is:

1. the business gets the Unique Fiscalization Code in EDI;
2. it picks a program from ATK’s public register of certified SEFs;
3. every SEF at a point of sale gets its own digital certificate and fiscalization number;
4. the first receipt with a QR code is issued.

Do not confuse this code with the codes EDI issues for the tax receipt book (sales written by hand when there is no till). That is a different service with a different purpose.

Your case: what you see in EDI and what you do

Case	What you see under «Kërkesë për Fiskalizim»	What you do
Business starting with a SEF for the first time	No code shown	Submit the electronic request
Business with a fiscal device (PEF) moving to a SEF	No code shown	Submit the electronic request
Business that already has a code	The code is shown in the system	Do not apply again; go on to register the till
Business staying with its fiscal device only, no SEF	-	The 9 July notice is not addressed to these businesses

ATK invites taxpayers who plan to use a SEF to check their status in EDI and to apply if the code is missing.

How to apply in EDI, step by step

1. Log in to EDI with the business account.
2. Open the «Fiskalizimi» menu and choose «Kërkesë për Fiskalizim».
3. Check the status. If the code is shown, note it and go to step 6.
4. Fill in and submit the electronic request with the data the form asks for.
5. Follow the status in the same window until the code shows as issued. ATK’s notice gives no deadline for this.
6. Choose the SEF and register the tills. With the code in hand, move to the till software: each point of sale gets its digital certificate and fiscalization number.
7. Issue a test receipt and check that it has a QR code and that ATK accepted it.

If this is your first time, read the guide how fiscalization with a SEF works before step 6: it explains the receipt, offline work and returns.

The most common mistakes

• Buying the software before the code. Software without the code cannot fiscalize; start in EDI.
• Choosing a program that is not in ATK’s register. Only a certified SEF issues a valid receipt; see what Electronic Fiscal Software is.
• Applying twice. If the code is shown in EDI, this step is done.
• One certificate for several tills. Every SEF at a point of sale has its own certificate and fiscalization number.
