Once he/she enters the URL of the e-invoice system, the screen below will open.

The user needs to enter his/her GSTIN and captcha code displayed and then click ‘Go’ to submit the request. Once the request is submitted the user will be redirected to the e-invoice registration form.
Step 3: The applicant’s details as per the registered GSTIN will get displayed such as applicant name, trade name, address, mobile number, email ID, etc. as registered on the GST portal.The user is required to verify these details by clicking on ‘Send OTP’. A one-time password (OTP) will be sent on the registered mobile number. The user shoukd enter this OTP in the registration form and click on the ‘Verify OTP’ button.
Once the OTP has been successfully verified, the system prompts the user to enter a user name of choice (consisting of 6-15 characters) and enter a password, then re-enter the password for confirmation and click on ‘Save’.
