About CFE and CAE in Uruguay

The Dirección General Impositiva (DGI) regulates electronic fiscal invoicing in Uruguay, replacing traditional paper vouchers with secure digital certificates.

The Constancia de Autorización de Emisión (CAE) is an official digital authorization granted by DGI that allows registered businesses to issue electronic vouchers within an approved number range for 2 years.

Computation Algorithm (DGI Modulo 11)

Mathematical validation rule for the Emission Authorization Certificate (CAE):

Remainder = ∑(dᵢ × Wᵢ) mod 11, weights [3, 2, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2]
  1. 1. Weighting: The first 10 digits of the CAE are multiplied by weights [3, 2, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2].
  2. 2. Sum & Remainder: Calculate the sum of products and the remainder of integer division by 11.
  3. 3. Special Rule: If remainder is 0, CD = 0. If remainder is 1, CD = 6. Otherwise, CD = 11 - remainder.
  4. 4. Integrity: The 11th digit ensures authenticity and integrity of the authorized voucher range.
