πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί VIES EU VAT Number Validator

πŸš€ Batch-validate EU VAT numbers across all 27 member states. Get company names, addresses, validity status, and official EU timestamps for compliance-ready records.

Cross-border invoicing in the EU requires valid VAT numbers. VIES is the European Commission's official validation system. This tool lets you batch-validate hundreds or thousands of VAT numbers in one run, returning the registered company name, structured address fields, and an official EU timestamp for each check.

No manual one-by-one lookups. Paste your VAT numbers, click Start, and download validated results as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

πŸ“‹ What it does

  • Validates each VAT number against the official EU VIES system and returns a boolean validity flag
  • Returns registered company name and full address when published by the member state
  • Parses addresses into structured fields (street, postal code, city) for direct database use
  • Supports all 27 EU member states plus XI (Northern Ireland) and includes official EU timestamps for audit trails

πŸ“Š Data fields

Each record includes: address, city, companyType, countryCode, isValid, name, postalCode, requestDate, scrapedAt, street, vatNumber. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: Each VAT number must include the 2-letter country prefix (IT, DE, FR, etc.). Some member states restrict publishing company names and addresses through VIES. In those cases, the validity flag is still returned but name and address fields may be empty. Free users are limited to 10 validations per run.

  4. Click Start and wait for results
