EU VAT Validator (VIES): Verify & Bulk-Check VAT IDs
Validate EU VAT numbers against the official VIES database — single or bulk.
In plain language.
Checks any EU VAT number directly against VIES, the European Commission's own validation service — not a cached guess.
Returns the registered business name and address alongside a pass/fail, plus an official consultation number your finance team can keep as audit evidence.
Built for bulk lists as easily as a single lookup, at human or agent speed.
Who it's for
- Finance and accounts-payable teams
- SaaS billing systems validating customer VAT at checkout
- Compliance teams cleaning up VAT master data

Every check hits VIES directly — the same registry tax authorities use.
Audit-ready evidence
Get a consultation number recognised as proof of a reverse-charge check.
Bulk without the wait
