Validate hundreds of EU VAT numbers at once against the official VIES database. Paste or upload a list and get instant valid/invalid results with company names. Free to try.
Whether a VAT number is currently registered and valid for intra-EU transactions in the member state that issued it. Where the member state shares them, VIES also returns the registered name and address.
The most common causes are a typo or missing characters, the wrong country prefix (Greece is EL, not GR), a domestic tax number instead of the EU VAT number, or a business that is registered domestically but not for intra-EU transactions.
The tax administration of that member state did not answer in time, for example because its service was busy or temporarily unavailable. The number has not been judged invalid; use Retry Failed to check it again.
All 27 EU member states, each with its VIES prefix, plus Northern Ireland (XI) numbers, which VIES covers for trade in goods. Paste a mixed list and every number is sent to the right country. UK (GB) numbers are not in VIES; check them with the UK VAT number check instead.
Yes. Registered users can export results to CSV, Excel or PDF and save lists to check again later.
