January 2026 - Reception of documents in PDF format 

As announced in February 2025, physical documents exchanges are meant to disappear and be replaced by digitalized documents.

To make this transition easier, we encourage you to adopt -without delay- one of the two solutions below, aiming at facilitating the transmission of your documents. 

  • Option 1: you can send us your documents by email if they are electronically signed with a Level 2 (advanced) or Level 3 (qualified) digital certificate held by the Legal Representative (LR).

    Note: we kindly ask you to send criminal records of your ARs in a separate file, as they are not devoted to be stored after analysis.

    You can check the level of your electronic signature certificate on this website: https://www.marches-publics.gouv.fr/?page=Entreprise.VerifierSignature

  • Option 2: in case your LR is not equipped with the required electronic certificate, you can use a secure online signature tool upon request known as :  “Parapheur électronique CDC”.

    After sending your scanned documents, the French GHG Registry will electronically send you a link to register within “Parapheur électronique CDC”, allowing you to sign the documents sent via this tool.

    This secured solution is provided free of charge by Caisse des depots for account holders.
    Note: if the Legal representative is not French, additional checks will be handled beforehand, before providing you with an access to the electronic signature platform.
    If this applies to you, please do not hesitate to contact us by email so that we can help you find the most suitable solution.

These two solutions offer several advantages:
- Enhanced security: your documents are transmitted electronically, reducing the risk of losing important documents.
- Eco-friendliness: by minimizing paper usage, you contribute to environmental preservation and reduce emissions related to transportation. 
- Cost-effective: using this solution saves you postage costs and facilitates faster processing of your file.

 

February 2025 - Reception of documents in PDF format 

With the objective to improve the quality of services provided to its customers while simplifying procedures at the same time, the French GHG Registry is pleased to announce the implementation of a set of tools designed to facilitate our exchanges.

This new solution allows you to communicate with the French GHG Registry in a digital and secured manner, with features such as:
i.     Contacting us via email
ii.    Transmission of your documents, electronically signed, by email or via a secured file submission tool
iii.   Checking the electronic signature used by the account holder
iv.   Signing your documents online via our secure "electronic signature book" (in the absence of an electronic certificate allowing you to sign your own documents, the French GHG Registry will provide you with a link to create your login in its "electronic signature book" with the load of a copy of your ID card or passport);
v.    Archiving files with probative value (when closing an account in the GHG Registry).

The main advantage of this solution is to allow a secured and confidential transmission of all your documentation while gaining in responsiveness and practicality.

Two possibilities are offered to access this solution which will allow you to send us your documents : by email or by deposit in our file deposit server.

1.    If you hold an electronic certificate allowing you to sign your documents (in PDF format) before sending them to the GHG Registry (and meeting the requirements of the European EIDAS regulation). This certificate must be level 2 or 3, known as "Advanced" and "qualified".
The qualification level of the certificate can be checked online using the following our French government link: https://www.marches-publics.gouv.fr/?page=Entreprise.VerifierSignature.

2.    in the absence of such an electronic certificate, and only for account holders already registered in the French GHG Registry : it is possible to electronically sign your documents with your mobile phone using a link that will be sent to you upon request, by the French GHG Registry.

Important: Criminal records should not be included in your file. Send criminal records in a separate file, as we do not keep criminal records: once verified, we destroy them.

This solution, accessible anywhere and at any time, is now our preferred way for your exchanges with the French GHG Registery.
It is intended, in the long term, to replace the transmissions of physical documents.
