Why teams choose this scraper
More than a yes/no check. Add your own VAT number and every validation also returns the official consultation number (requestIdentifier) — the audit-grade proof, accepted by EU tax authorities, that you verified the counterparty on that date. You can also pass a company's name and address to get a per-field match / no-match verdict against the official registry, alongside the registered name and address where the member state discloses them.
Who is it for
| Use case | Who benefits |
|---|---|
| KYB and onboarding | Teams verifying that a business VAT number is real and active |
| Tax compliance | Finance staff confirming cross-border VAT status before zero-rating |
| Invoicing and AR | Systems that must store a validated VAT ID on each invoice |
| Data cleaning | Analysts enriching and de-duplicating supplier and customer lists |
How to use it
- Add one or more EU VAT numbers to VAT Numbers To Validate, using the full ID with its country code (for example
DE811193231,IE6388047V,LU26375245). - Set Max VAT Numbers To Check and run.
- Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull the results through the Apify API.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the company name or address empty for some valid numbers? Several member states (for example Germany and Spain) return a valid or invalid answer but do not disclose the trader name and address. The valid flag is still authoritative in those cases.
How should I format Greek or Northern Irish numbers?
Greece uses the code EL inside the system; you can enter EL or GR. Northern Ireland uses XI. Spaces, dots and dashes in a VAT number are ignored.
Do you charge for invalid numbers? Every VAT number that returns a definitive valid or invalid answer is one result. Runs that produce no answer (empty input or a temporary service outage) are not charged for those entries.
How fresh is the result? Each number is checked live at run time, so the answer reflects the registry at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
