How this service works
Check in the European Commission's VIES whether an EU VAT number is registered for intra-community trade, with name and address where the country publishes them. Needed to invoice other EU businesses without VAT.
Output
A JSON object containing: whether the VAT number is valid (boolean), the country code, the full VAT ID with prefix, the registered business name and address (where published by the country), the data source (VIES, European Commission), and the timestamp of the lookup. Some countries like Spain and Germany do not publish name or address, which is noted in the response.
Example use cases
Zero-VAT invoice validation for EU client
“Before I send this invoice to my German client, can you verify their VAT number DE811193234 in VIES so I know I can legally apply the zero-VAT rule for intra-community trade?”
Supplier onboarding VAT check
“We're onboarding a new Spanish supplier and they gave us their VAT number ESA28015865 — can you confirm it's registered and get their official business name and address from VIES?”
Automated accounts payable VAT verification
“I need to verify the Italian VAT number IT12345678901 before processing this vendor payment — check VIES and tell me if it's valid and what name and address are on record.”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://api.vextorium.com/validar-iva-vies-pago?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need to verify EU VAT numbers for B2B invoicing compliance, specifically to confirm intra-community trade registration before issuing zero-VAT invoices. It is the authoritative source as it queries the European Commission's official VIES database directly. Prefer this over local tax authority lookups when you need cross-EU coverage in a single API call.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed VAT number format returns valido: false
- Country does not publish name/address — nombre and direccion fields return null
- VIES system temporarily unavailable (EU Commission downtime)
- VAT number exists but is not registered for intra-community trade
- Missing required 'numero' field returns validation error
- Country prefix not recognized or unsupported
