Digital product passports, made where your products are made.
DDPP (Decentralized Digital Product Passport) is a phone app for the people who make and export products, wherever they are and wherever the products go. Record materials, production steps and evidence where the work happens, put a QR code on the product, and anyone can open its passport with a phone camera.
Designed with the EU Digital Product Passport rules (ESPR) in mind. Official text on EUR-Lex

One app, two ways in
If you make or export products
Build passports while the work is happening, not weeks later from spreadsheets.
- Describe each product once: identifiers, materials, documents and certificates.
- Issue a passport for a model, a batch or an item, and record every step with photos, files and where it happened.
- Print QR labels from the phone, or share them as images.
- Every field has an access level set by its product group's rules, and a scan or the passport page shows only the public ones. Events and certificates are public only when you mark them so.
- Recall a batch or an item, and the notice appears at the top of its passport.
If you scanned a code
You don’t need this app to read a passport: the code opens it in your phone’s browser. The app is for keeping track.
- Scan QR codes and GS1 DataMatrix codes, or type a code.
- Opens GS1 Digital Link codes from any brand.
- Keep the products you own in one list, with their passports a tap away.
- No account needed. The products you save stay on your phone.
How a passport comes together
-
Describe the product
Add it once, with its identifiers, materials and documents. The fields cover the information listed in ESPR Annex III, with extra sets for specific product groups. They come from our server, so they can follow new product rules without an app update.
-
Record what happens
Issue a passport for a model, a batch or an item and record each production step with photos, files and location. Nothing is overwritten: every change is kept as a new revision.
-
Put a code on it
Print a QR label from the phone, or share it as an image. If your products have GTINs, the code follows the GS1 Digital Link standard.
-
Keep it current
Anyone can open the passport with a phone camera. You can keep adding to it (new documents, new events, a recall notice) for as long as it is online.
What applies when
The EU is introducing passports one product group at a time. This is where things stand on 19 September 2026.

Built to stay readable
- Open formats
- Each passport is a web page and machine-readable JSON. Its GS1 Digital Link answers with a linkset (RFC 9264), so other software can find both.
- Recalls stay visible
- A recalled passport stays online with the recall notice at the top, so people who scan the product see it.
- History is kept
- Once a passport is published, its identity is fixed, data changes become new revisions, and events can only be added.
- Access levels
- Every field is public, restricted or authority-only. Scans and public pages show the public fields only.
- Hosted in the EU
- Passport data lives on DDPP’s own server in Lithuania.
- Eight languages
- English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Polish on this site and on passport pages; the app in the first four.
What it costs
Reading a passport is free for everyone, always. A business pays for its passports: 40 credits (€200) once for a product's permanent passport, then one credit (at most €5) for every 20 tonnes or 10,000 units of each batch issued under it, and nothing for the work around them.

Questions
Will this make my product compliant?
No software can do that on its own. For most product groups the EU has not adopted its passport rules yet, and there is no certification for passport service providers so far. DDPP is designed with the ESPR rules in mind and keeps the records a passport needs. Whether a product complies depends on the product and its data.
Do people need the app to read a passport?
No. The code opens the passport in any phone’s browser, free of charge. The app adds a list of the products you saved and, for businesses, the tools to create passports.
Do I need GS1 barcodes?
No. Every DDPP passport has its own identifier and link. If your products have GTINs, add them and your codes will use the GS1 Digital Link format.
Is DDPP only for products sold in the EU?
No. Any maker or exporter, anywhere, can give a product a passport, and anyone can read it, whether the product goes from Sri Lanka to Bangladesh or from Türkiye to Germany. The EU is the first to require passports, so where its rules cover a product group, the passport follows them.
We export from Türkiye. Does this apply to us?
A product needs a passport once the rules for its product group apply in the EU, wherever it is made. The company that places it on the EU market, often your importer, is responsible for the passport, so expect them to ask you for the data. DDPP works in English, Turkish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch and Polish (the app in the first four), and you can share passports with your EU partners.
What about the EU registry?
It opened on 20 July 2026. Companies can enrol now with an EU Login account and a qualified electronic seal, but no passport can be registered until the first product group, batteries, has its data model. The registry’s interface for software like ours is not open yet. DDPP shows which data each passport still needs before you publish it.
What does it cost?
Reading passports is free and stays free. From 15 October 2026, passports spend credits: 40 once for a product's permanent passport, taken when it is created, one for every 20 tonnes or 10,000 units of a batch issued under it, and one for 100 item passports. Prices are on the pricing page.
Where is the data kept?
Passports are stored on DDPP’s own server in Lithuania, in the EU. The products you save in the app stay on your phone and are not sent to us.
