Hi I just purchased a microsoft surface pro online and I need an invoice. How can I get an invoice? I tried calling the help line and the sales line to buy it but neither was a success. Thanks

    Hi Oscar De Vroey,

    I understand that you’re in a hurry to get your invoice. However, there is a few things I need to clarify about this process so you wouldn’t reach out to the wrong channel and waste your time:

    • The Q&A Assist has given you the right steps to locate the invoice (if any)
    • It can take up to several days after purchase for the invoice option to appear.
    • Invoice is generated automatically - the call lines cannot directly give you one.

    If the Surface Pro was purchased from the Microsoft Store online, and the invoice is still missing after several days, that’s when you reach out to Support. Web chat is usually more effective with billing documents. In that case:

    1. Visit Contact Us - Microsoft Support > Sign in 
    2. Type in your problem > click Get Help to make request 
    3. Scroll to the bottom and click Contact Support to connect to agent
    4. Select category again > click Next and you should be added to a chat queue
    5. Provide the order number, purchase date, and the email address used for purchase.

    Note: The support contact team only works at certain times, so if the last window shows that it's unavailable, try opening it again the next day. If you prefer phone support, you can leave a phone number. This way, they can call you and help you. 

    In the case that you actually purchased the Surface Pro from a third‑party retailer (Amazon, reseller, local store, etc.), Microsoft cannot provide an invoice. It must be obtained directly from the retailer who sold the device.

    For a Surface Pro bought from Microsoft Store online, the invoice is downloaded from the Microsoft account used for the purchase.

    1. Wait for the invoice to become available. Tax invoices are not real-time and typically take from 48 hours up to 5 days after purchase before they appear.
    2. Go to the Order history page and sign in with the same Microsoft account used to buy the Surface Pro.
    3. Find the Surface Pro order in the list. If it is not visible, adjust the Ordered within date range.
    4. Select Order detail for that order.
    5. Select Tax invoice to download the invoice. In regions where VAT applies, this will show the VAT invoice and tax breakdown.

    If only a standard order detail is needed (for example, to print a receipt):

    1. Sign in to account.microsoft.com/billing.
    2. Select Payment & billing > Order history and refine by date/order if needed.
    3. For the Surface Pro order with status Completed, select Order details.
    4. Use Print on the page (or the browser’s print function) to print or save as PDF.

    If the invoice still does not appear after 5 days or the order is not listed, contact Microsoft Store support using the options under Sales support help on the Microsoft Store & billing help page.
