Set PASCA as Your NRS E-Invoicing Provider
Step-by-step guide to selecting PASCA on the FIRS Centralised Billing Portal so your business ID and IRN template are assigned correctly.
Why your NRS provider matters
Before you can issue FIRS-compliant receipts and invoices from ZoboLedger, your Tax Identification Number (TIN) must have PASCA selected as your e-invoicing service provider on the FIRS Centralised Billing Portal.
Without this step, FIRS will not assign your business ID or IRN template. ZoboLedger cannot generate compliant invoice reference numbers until both are available — even if you tap Activate business in WhatsApp.
What is the NRS portal?
The FIRS e-invoice portal is where Nigerian businesses register for e-invoicing and choose their NRS service provider. PASCA is ZoboLedger's e-invoicing partner; selecting PASCA tells FIRS to route your business profile and IRN template to the provider ZoboLedger uses.
Steps to set PASCA as your provider
- Log in to einvoice.firs.gov.ng.
- Open the Centralised Billing Portal and find your NRS service provider settings.
- Select PASCA as your NRS provider and save.
- Wait a few minutes for FIRS to sync with PASCA.
After saving, return to WhatsApp and tap Activate business, or use Refresh setup if you already tried activation and saw a pending or incomplete message.
If activation still shows pending
If ZoboLedger finds your business on FIRS but returns a pending status or no IRN template, your NRS provider is likely not set to PASCA yet. Complete the steps above, then in WhatsApp tap Refresh setup on the incomplete-setup message.
