What it means

For a UAE seller whose electronic address uses scheme 0235, the legal registration type must be TL (trade licence), EID (Emirates ID), PAS (passport) or CD (cabinet decision).

How to fix it

Set the seller's legal registration type to TL, EID, PAS or CD.

The official wording of this rule is in the PINT AE specification published by OpenPeppol.
