> Use the live tool list and respect company membership. Ask the person to approve the exact invoice or tax return version in the signed-in app. Melso's professionals prepare and file included returns after approval; an AI assistant does not file. A prepared file or an approval is not evidence of filing: only the AEAT's reference and receipt are. Keep credentials out of chat and logs.
# Register the company as an issuer
> Registers the company as an invoice issuer: VERI*FACTU in the common territory and Canary Islands, TicketBAI in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa.
**Live capability.** Melso runs this in production today. Partner keys reach it once your partner account is enabled. See [Availability](/api/availability).
**A person decides.** The company's owner makes this call, signed in to Melso. Partner keys cannot make it: send the person the approval link instead. See [Approvals and filing](/api/approvals).
Retrying resumes the same registration. The result is
`active`, or `pending` with the `authorization_url` where the owner
authorizes the representation for invoice registration.

title: Melso API
version: 1.0.0-preview
summary: Spanish tax and labour compliance for the companies on your platform.
description: |
The Melso API lets an HR, payroll, banking or ERP platform run the
Spanish tax and labour obligations of the companies it serves: invoices,
books, tax returns, Social Security and employment notifications.
Melso calculates and prepares. A person at the company approves the exact
version. Melso's professionals file under the company's representation, and
the filing is proven only by the administration's reference and receipt.
Every operation states its availability in `x-melso-status`:
- `live`: Melso runs this capability in production today. Partner keys
reach it once a partner account is enabled.
- `preview`: a contract proposed to design partners. Not callable yet.
`x-melso-actor: person` marks a decision a signed-in person makes in
Melso; a partner sends them the approval link instead.
