The problem
Why tax ID checks break down
VIES stops at the EU
The free VIES service validates EU-27 VAT only, but you transact with businesses in far more markets than that.
Manual checks don't scale
Cross-checking tax IDs by hand against national authorities is slow and inconsistent the moment volume grows.
E-invoicing mandates are landing
Belgium is live, France follows, Germany after, and each one needs a valid, current tax ID for every counterparty.
A bad ID becomes a penalty
An invalid or mismatched VAT/tax ID means blocked invoices, rejected input-tax claims, and fraud exposure.
Our solution
Validate any VAT or tax ID against the official source.
Real-time or bulk
Validate one ID at onboarding or checkout via API, or run a whole portfolio through a batch file.
Beyond VIES, 75 countries
Reverse-validate VAT and TIN across 75 countries against the official tax authority, not just the EU-27.
The entity behind the number
Return the legal name, registration status, and address tied to the ID, so you confirm it's real and current.
Built for the mandate calendar
Keep tax IDs valid as e-invoicing rules land market by market, so compliance doesn't become a fire drill.
How it works
From an ID to a decision, in one call.
Send the ID
Pass a VAT or tax ID via API at onboarding or checkout, or upload a file for bulk validation.
We check the source
The ID is reverse-validated against the official tax authority, returning its status and the entity behind it.
Act on the result
Valid and matched clears automatically; invalid or mismatched is flagged for review before you transact.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Confirming that a VAT or tax ID is genuine, active, and belongs to the business it claims to, by validating it against the official tax authority and returning the legal name, status, and address behind it.
75 countries: the EU-27 plus wider Europe, and selected markets across LATAM, APAC, and Africa/Middle East, well beyond the EU-only reach of VIES.
VIES validates EU-27 VAT numbers only and returns little more than valid/invalid. We reverse-validate VAT and TIN across 75 countries against national authorities and return the entity behind the number, so you know who you're transacting with.
Yes. A REST API validates an ID instantly at onboarding or checkout, and bulk file delivery validates an existing portfolio in one batch.
A structured result flagging the ID as invalid or mismatched, with a reason, so you can block or route it to review before money moves.
As mandates land (Belgium live, France and Germany to follow), each counterparty needs a valid, current tax ID. Automating the check keeps you compliant without manual lookups against every national authority.
