The EU Digital Product Passport Registry must be operational by July 19, 2026 under Article 13 of the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) Regulation (EU) 2024/1781.

It does not store complete product information but records key registration information and links to passports held by economic operators. Customs authorities will use the Registry to verify imported products have valid DPPs before release for free circulation, and market surveillance authorities will access registered DPPs for compliance enforcement.
