Qué ocurre cuando compruebas un número de IVA
A VIES VAT number check runs in four steps, from a format check in your browser to the answer of the national tax register.
- Comprobación de formatoPrimero se compara el número con el formato de su país, así que, si falta el prefijo o sobra un dígito, se detecta antes de enviar nada.
- Consulta a VIESNumbers that look right go from BlueInvoice's server to VIES, the European Commission's VAT Information Exchange System.
- Registro nacionalVIES no almacena datos propios. Consulta a la administración tributaria del país que indica el prefijo.
- ResultadoVálido o no válido, junto con el nombre y la dirección registrados siempre que el país los publique.
Because the answer comes from the issuing country's own register, this VIES validator returns the same result as the European Commission's portal. It adds batch lookups and keeps each result on its own row.
Válido, no válido o válido sin nombre
A VIES VAT validation comes back valid or invalid, and some countries confirm a valid number without the company's name and address. The numbers in these examples are made up.

Algunos países, entre ellos Alemania y España, confirman el número pero no publican el nombre ni la dirección. El número sigue siendo válido; usa los datos que te ha dado tu cliente.

No registrado, dado de baja o no habilitado para operaciones intracomunitarias. No apliques la inversión del sujeto pasivo hasta que tu cliente te envíe un número válido. When a country's register does not answer, its numbers can show as invalid too, so check again before you tell your client.
Cuándo verificar un número de IVA
Verify a VAT number before the first invoice to a new EU business client, whenever an invoice relies on the reverse charge, and again every few months.
Un número de IVA que era válido el año pasado puede estar dado de baja hoy. Si aplicas la inversión del sujeto pasivo a un número que ya no estaba registrado, Hacienda puede reclamarte el IVA que no repercutiste, más intereses. Una comprobación de número de IVA lleva segundos; esa conversación con Hacienda, semanas.
- Cliente nuevoRun a European VAT number check before the first invoice to a business in another EU country.
- Inversión del sujeto pasivoCada vez que una factura dependa de él.
- CambiosCuando un cliente cambia de nombre, dirección o forma jurídica.
- Clientes habitualesA VAT registration check every few months, since registrations get suspended and cancelled.
Formatos de números de IVA de la UE
Every EU VAT number starts with a two-letter country code, and many go by a local name, such as the BTW number in the Netherlands and Belgium or the USt-IdNr. in Germany. Type a code or a country to narrow the list.

Ningún país de la UE coincide con tu búsqueda. Los números del Reino Unido (GB) no están en VIES.
Grecia usa EL, no GR. Los espacios, puntos y guiones se eliminan antes de la comprobación, así que puedes pegar los números tal como los escribió tu cliente.
Comprobar varios números a la vez
You can check up to 20 VAT numbers at once by pasting them one per line. Each line gets its own VAT ID check and lands in its own row, so a typo in one does not hold up the rest. It is a quick VAT lookup for cleaning a client list at the start of the year or vetting a batch of new accounts.
Números del Reino Unido: Since 1 January 2021, GB numbers are not in VIES and cannot be checked here. Use HMRC's own VAT number service for clients in Great Britain.
Preguntas sobre la comprobación de números de IVA
VIES es la pasarela de la Comisión Europea para comprobar números de IVA. No tiene una base de datos propia: cada consulta va a la administración tributaria del país que emitió el número, y VIES te devuelve la respuesta. La fuente es el registro nacional; VIES es una puerta de acceso a los 27.
Yes. VAT ID is short for VAT identification number, and many countries print it under a local name. To check a VAT ID, paste it with its two-letter country prefix: a VAT ID lookup and a VAT number check are the same VIES query.
A VAT ID validation usually fails for one of three reasons. The number was typed with a missing prefix or a swapped digit; the business is registered at home but not enabled for cross-border trade, which in some countries needs a separate request; or the registration was suspended or cancelled. In each case, do not apply the reverse charge until your client confirms a number that checks out.
No. Since 1 January 2021 VIES holds no GB numbers, so a UK VAT number check goes through HMRC's Check a UK VAT number service on GOV.UK. Northern Ireland businesses that trade goods with the EU have numbers starting with XI, which are in VIES; this checker takes EU country prefixes only, so check XI numbers on the European Commission's VIES page.
No. VIES checks a number you already have and cannot search by name. Ask your client for the number, or look on an invoice they sent you, where EU businesses print it.
In most EU countries the date and result of a VIES VAT number validation are accepted as evidence that you verified your client's registration when you invoiced them. Keep them with the invoice. For high-value or disputed sales, ask your accountant what your tax office expects.
Outages usually mean one country's register is unreachable for a while, and the VIES lookup for that country fails until it is back. Try again later, or use the European Commission's own VIES page. For a new client, wait for a successful check before applying the reverse charge. Until that register answers, a number from that country can show as invalid here, so check it again before you rely on the result.
No. The numbers and the answers go from your browser through BlueInvoice's server to VIES and back, and are not saved. No account is needed to run a check.
Yes. You can check an EU VAT number, or 20 at once, with no sign-up and no limit beyond the throttling VIES applies itself. When the number checks out, carry it straight into the invoice generator.
