Check hundreds of EU VAT numbers in one run against the official VIES service and get validity, company name and address for each.
What can you do with it?
- Finance and accounting teams: verify supplier and customer VAT numbers before issuing reverse-charge invoices.
- E-commerce and marketplaces: validate B2B buyers' VAT IDs at onboarding or before applying 0% VAT.
- CRM and data teams: clean company databases and enrich records with the registered name and address.
- AI agents: call it as a tool through Apify MCP to validate a VAT ID inside an automated workflow.
Example output
status is one of:
| Status | Meaning | Charged? |
|---|---|---|
valid | VIES confirms the number is active | Yes |
invalid | VIES says the number is not valid | Yes |
invalid-format | Not a VAT number format VIES accepts (fix the input) | No |
unavailable | The member-state registry did not answer after retries | No |
Export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or connect via API, webhooks, Make, Zapier or MCP.
Pricing
$2.00 per 1,000 checked numbers ($0.002 per number). You pay only for numbers VIES actually answers. Format errors and registry outages are free.
How to use
- Paste your VAT numbers, one per line, with the country prefix (e.g.
DE123456789). - Optional: set a default country for numbers without a prefix.
- Click Start. Results appear in the dataset as each number is checked.
Greek numbers can use GR or EL. Northern Ireland uses XI.
FAQ
Where does the data come from? From the European Commission's official VIES service. The actor adds input cleanup, retries for temporarily unavailable registries and a clean output format.
Why is a name or address empty? Some member states (for example Germany and Spain) do not share these fields through VIES.
Is the result legal proof? VIES returns a request date you can keep as evidence of the check. For a consultation number, use the VIES website directly.
Something broke or a field is missing? Open an issue in the Issues tab. We usually respond within 12 hours.
