How this service works
Validate a French VAT (TVA) number against the official company register. Validity means the SIREN exists and the company is administratively active.
Output
Returns whether the French VAT (TVA) number is valid, meaning the embedded SIREN exists in the French business registry and the corresponding company is administratively active. Invalid results indicate either a non-existent SIREN, an inactive company, or a malformed TVA number where the 2-digit key does not match the SIREN.
Example use cases
Supplier onboarding VAT check
“We're onboarding a new French supplier who gave us TVA number FR61397612471 — can you verify it's valid and the company is still active before we set them up in our system?”
Invoice compliance verification
“Before I process this invoice, can you confirm that FR27514823357 is a legitimate and active French VAT number?”
B2B lead vetting
“I have a list of French companies and one of them provided TVA number FR40303265045 — can you check if that number is real and the business is administratively active?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://vat.openverbs.com/v1/franceWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you specifically need to validate a French VAT (TVA) number against the official French government business registry. Prefer this over generic EU VIES lookups when you need confirmation of administrative activity status in France specifically, or when VIES does not return data for French entities. It is well-suited for B2B supplier onboarding, invoice processing compliance, and automated accounts-payable workflows involving French companies.
Side effects
- Malformed VAT number (wrong length, invalid characters, or key mismatch with SIREN) returns a validation error
- SIREN exists but company is administratively inactive returns invalid status
- Upstream recherche-entreprises API unavailable causes service error
- VAT number shorter than 11 characters or longer than 20 characters is rejected by input schema
