Understanding Passport Status

Every passport in DPP Cloud has a status that determines what you can do with it and how it appears to the outside world. There are five statuses.

The five statuses

Moving between statuses

The status flow is one-directional:

Draft → Active — You activate the passport. This generates the GS1 Digital Link QR code and makes the passport visible on the public viewer. Some fields become locked after activation (GTIN, passport number, battery category).

Active → Submitted — You submit the passport to the EU registry. The passport enters the registry validation queue.

Submitted → Registered — The registry accepts the passport. This is the target state for compliance.

Any status → Revoked — You can revoke a passport from any active state. This is a permanent action.

What to do at each status

• Draft: Complete all required Annex XIII fields, review the data, then activate.
• Active: Download and print the QR code for your battery labels. Submit to the EU registry when ready.
• Submitted: Wait for registry confirmation. No action needed.
• Registered: You are compliant. Monitor for any regulation updates that may require passport amendments.
• Revoked: No further action possible on this passport.
