EU Company Enrichment with Official VAT Verification (VIES)

Give it VAT numbers, company domains, or a mixed list. Each row comes back with the registered company name and address as recorded in VIES, the European Commission's VAT registry, plus optional website firmographics.

What you get per company

The registered name and address in the output come from the registry member states use for VAT administration. A verificationSource field states where every value originated, and a confidence score accompanies each record. With the website add-on enabled, the row also carries the company description, social profile links, public email addresses found on the site, and technology hints.

Input

{ "companies": [ { "vat": "IE6388047V" }, { "domain": "sap.com" } ], "enrichWebsite": true }

Domains work without a VAT number. The actor reads the company's imprint or legal page, where companies in DE, AT, NL, FR and several other member states publish their VAT number, then verifies what it finds against VIES.

Output

A live verification of IE6388047V returns:

{
  "vatNumber": "IE6388047V", "vatValid": true,
  "officialName": "GOOGLE IRELAND LIMITED",
  "officialAddress": "3RD FLOOR, GORDON HOUSE, BARROW STREET, DUBLIN 4",
  "country": "IE", "verificationSource": "VIES", "viesStatus": "OK",
  "website": "https://...", "description": "...", "socialLinks": { "linkedin": "..." },
  "emailsOnSite": ["info@..."], "confidence": 0.97
}

Status codes

OK · NO_VAT_OR_DOMAIN · VAT_NOT_FOUND_ON_SITE · MS_UNAVAILABLE (member state registry briefly down, retry later) · RETRIES_EXHAUSTED

Rows with problems carry a status and the run continues to the end. In live testing, a French registry outage mid-run produced MS_UNAVAILABLE rows while the remaining countries verified normally.

Pricing

$12 per 1,000 verified companies ($0.012 each). Website firmographics add-on $6 per 1,000. $0.005 at actor start. A 500-row CRM cleanup with the add-on costs $9.01.

Use cases

CRM cleaning, supplier and customer verification before onboarding, lead-list validation before outreach, invoice compliance checks, EU market research.

Data sources

The public VIES registry and public company webpages, with no login anywhere.
