Why VIES Validator?

✅ Verify before you invoice — invalid VAT numbers are the classic cross-border invoicing trap.
🏛️ Official source — the European Commission's VIES service itself, not a mirror.
🧹 Messy input tolerated — spaces, dashes, missing prefixes: normalized automatically.
👥 Get the registered name & address — useful for KYC, not just validity.
📦 Bulk — validate a whole list in one run.

Use cases

Cross-border invoicing checks · VAT reverse-charge documentation · KYC and vendor onboarding · CRM data hygiene for EU customers

What data you get?

🏷️ Field	Description
📧 input	Original input as submitted
✅ valid	VIES validity verdict
🇪🇺 countryCode / vatNumber	Normalized country code and VAT number
🏢 name	Registered company name (when VIES returns it)
📍 address	Registered address (when available)
📅 requestDate	VIES consultation date
⚠️ userError / error	VIES status codes / error detail

How to use

Add the actor to your Apify account and click Run.
Paste numbers into vatNumbers — one or many, mixed formats fine.
Set country for bare numbers without a prefix.
Export results as JSON, CSV or Excel.
