Free EU VAT number checker

Verify any EU VAT id against the OFFICIAL EU VIES service — valid or invalid, plus the registered business name. No signup. Honest: if VIES is down or rate-limits us, you get a clear "service unavailable", never a fabricated valid.

🇫🇷 France mandate: from 1 September 2026 you must be able to prove a supplier's VAT id was valid on the invoice date before reclaiming input VAT. Need a signed, auditor-verifiable proof rather than a screenshot? See the certificate option below.

Format: 2-letter country code + number. Nothing is stored.

Need legal-grade proof, or thousands at once?

Verify a signed certificate → · a paid POST https://facturproof.com/v1/vat/verify returns a signed Ed25519 evidence certificate (add requester_vat for VIES's official consultation number). Batch and monitoring for a whole supplier book are on the roadmap.
