How this service works
EU VIES VAT number validation
Output
Returns the VIES validation result for the given VAT number, including whether the VAT number is currently valid/active, the registered business name, and the registered business address as stored in the EU VIES database.
Example use cases
B2B invoice compliance check
“Before I issue this invoice, can you verify that the VAT number GB987654321 is currently registered and valid in the EU VIES system?”
Supplier onboarding VAT verification
“We're onboarding a new French supplier and they gave us VAT number FR12345678901 — can you confirm it's legitimate in VIES before we add them to our system?”
Customer VAT ID validation for zero-rating
“A customer claims they're VAT-exempt and gave me the number NL123456789B01 — can you validate it against VIES so I can decide whether to zero-rate the transaction?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://api.aurenic.org/vies/:vatNumber?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically verify EU VAT numbers for tax compliance, invoice zero-rating, or supplier/customer onboarding workflows. It is the authoritative source as it queries the official EU VIES system directly. Prefer this over manual lookups or third-party aggregators when you need real-time, authoritative VAT status for B2B transactions within the EU.
