Hosted here. Ready for EU registration.

The Registry indexes the passport. AnyDPP Host is where the passport lives.

The EU DPP (Digital Product Passport) Registry is the official European registry for Digital Product Passports. It does not store the detailed product data itself: under Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1781 it stores at least the unique identifiers, plus the commodity code for products released for free circulation, and any further data that a delegated act requires. The detailed product data is stored in a decentralised manner, hosted by the responsible economic operator or by a DPP (Digital Product Passport) service provider on its behalf.

AnyDPP Host is built for that decentralised layer. Your passport, its structured evidence, lifecycle data and its encrypted backup remain on European infrastructure. When registration applies, the required identifiers and registration metadata are prepared for the European Commission's DPP (Digital Product Passport) Registry under the economic operator's identity.

In simple terms: the Registry records that the passport exists. AnyDPP Host is where the passport and the evidence behind it live.

Three roles, kept apart

  • EU DPP Registry

    The official European index

  • AnyDPP Host

    Decentralised passport infrastructure

  • Economic operator

    The legally responsible party

Where the passport lives, and where it is indexedProduct evidence -> AnyDPP Host: The detailed passport lives here (Full DPP and its evidence, Lifecycle data, European hosting, Encrypted backup to a separate storage location, portable export). Identifier and required registration metadata <-> EU DPP Registry: The passport is indexed here (Unique identifier, Registration data, Required metadata). Authorised authorities and customs: Looks up the registration data, Reaches the passport where it is hosted. The economic operator remains responsible for the DPP and its data. A buyer reaches the passport through the data carrier on the product, not through the Registry. The ESPR also provides for a separate public web portal, run by the Commission, where stakeholders can search and compare passport information according to their access rights.Where the passport lives, and where it is indexedProduct evidenceAnyDPP HostThe detailed passportlives hereFull DPP and itsevidenceLifecycle dataEuropean hostingEncrypted backup to aseparate storagelocation, portableexportEU DPP RegistryThe passport is indexedhereUnique identifierRegistration dataRequired metadataIdentifier andrequiredregistrationmetadataLooks up theregistrationdataReaches thepassport whereit is hostedAuthorised authorities and customsThe economic operator remains responsible for the DPP andits data.A buyer reaches the passport through the data carrier on theproduct, not through the Registry.The ESPR also provides for a separate public web portal, run bythe Commission, where stakeholders can search and comparepassport information according to their access rights.

The EU Registry indexes it. AnyDPP Host keeps it available.

The European Commission's Digital Product Passport Registry has been operational since 20 July 2026. It is the EU-level indexing layer for DPPs: it stores unique identifiers, registration data and the metadata required by the applicable legislation. The full detailed passport remains decentralised.

That is the layer AnyDPP Host is built to provide. The DPP (Digital Product Passport) and its supporting evidence remain available on European infrastructure, with an encrypted backup to a separate storage location and portable export, structured on open standards (UNTP (UN Transparency Protocol), W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) Verifiable Credentials, GS1 (GS1, the global standards body for product identifiers) Digital Link) and no proprietary formats. When registration is required, AnyDPP prepares the relevant registration package under the responsible economic operator's identity.

AnyDPP Host is not the European Commission Registry. It is the decentralised infrastructure on which a DPP registered with that system can live.

The identifier travels. The passport does not.

Animated diagram in four steps. One: product evidence enters AnyDPP Host, where the full Digital Product Passport is held on European infrastructure with an encrypted backup to a separate storage location. Two: only the unique identifier and the required registration metadata are prepared for the European Commission's DPP Registry, under the economic operator's identity. Three: the Registry indexes the passport and stores that identifier and the registration data, not the detailed content. Four: an authorised authority such as customs looks the registration data up in the Registry and reaches the passport where it is hosted. A buyer does not go through the Registry: the data carrier on the product leads to the passport directly.
Only the identifier and the required registration metadata are prepared for the Registry. The detailed passport and the evidence behind it never leave the decentralised layer. The route drawn here is the authority one; a buyer reaches the passport through the data carrier on the product, and public stakeholders through the separate public web portal the ESPR provides for.

Four routes in, kept apart

Product access, registration, enforcement and public search are four different routes through the same architecture. Collapsing them into one Registry lookup is the reading this section exists to prevent.

  1. A buyer, or anyone holding the product

    Starts at
    The product and the data carrier on it
    Through
    The persistent unique product identifier
    Arrives at
    The Digital Product Passport, reached according to the DPP (Digital Product Passport) architecture that applies to that product

  2. The economic operator

    Starts at
    The operator's own registration duty
    Through
    The DPP (Digital Product Passport) identifiers and registration data the rules require
    Arrives at
    The EU DPP (Digital Product Passport) Registry

  3. Authorised authorities, including customs

    Starts at
    A check on a product or a consignment
    Through
    The registration identifiers and the EU systems and interconnections provided for under the ESPR and its implementing framework
    Arrives at
    The registration data, and the passport where it is hosted

  4. Public stakeholders

    Starts at
    A question about a product or a comparison between products
    Through
    The public web portal the ESPR provides for, run by the Commission
    Arrives at
    The passport information they are entitled to see, according to their access rights

AnyDPP Host supports the preparation, hosting and structuring of the passport and of the information the applicable registration workflow requires. It does not perform the registration, does not control the EU Registry and does not take over any part of the operator's own duties: the legally responsible economic operator remains responsible under the ESPR and the delegated or implementing acts that apply to its product.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the complete Digital Product Passport stored?
On decentralised infrastructure such as AnyDPP Host: European servers, with an encrypted backup to a separate storage location and portable export. The EU DPP Registry does not hold the full detailed passport.
What does the European Commission DPP Registry do?
It is the official EU-level index. It records that a passport exists and stores the unique identifier, the registration data and the metadata required by the applicable legislation. It became operational on 20 July 2026. It is not the everyday route by which a buyer reaches a passport, and it is not the Commission's public web portal: the ESPR provides for that portal separately, for stakeholders to search and compare passport information according to their access rights.
Who remains responsible for the DPP?
The relevant economic operator. A DPP service provider can host the data and prepare the registration package on its behalf, but the regulatory responsibility does not move.
