What is EU VAT Number Validation?

EU VAT (Value Added Tax) numbers are unique identifiers assigned to businesses registered for VAT in European Union member states. Validating a VAT number confirms that a business is legitimately registered for VAT. This matters for B2B transactions, invoice compliance, and VAT reclaim purposes.

How to Use This Tool

  1. 1Enter the full VAT number including the 2-letter country prefix (e.g. DE811901368 for a German VAT number)
  2. 2Click "Check VAT" and we query the official EU VIES database in real-time
  3. 3Receive instant confirmation with company name and registered address (when publicly available)
Note: Some EU countries restrict public access to company name and address data. In those cases, validity is confirmed but company details may not be shown. UK VAT numbers (GB prefix) are not included as the UK left the EU VAT system after Brexit.
