Ce qui se passe quand tu vérifies un numéro de TVA
A VIES VAT number check runs in four steps, from a format check in your browser to the answer of the national tax register.
- Contrôle du formatLe numéro est d'abord comparé au format de son pays : un préfixe manquant ou un chiffre en trop est détecté avant tout envoi.
- Requête VIESNumbers that look right go from BlueInvoice's server to VIES, the European Commission's VAT Information Exchange System.
- Registre nationalVIES ne détient aucune donnée propre. Il interroge l'administration fiscale du pays indiqué par le préfixe.
- RésultatValide ou invalide, avec le nom et l'adresse enregistrés lorsque le pays les publie.
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.
Valide, invalide ou valide sans nom
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.

Certains pays, dont l'Allemagne et l'Espagne, confirment le numéro mais ne publient ni le nom ni l'adresse. Le numéro reste valide ; utilise les coordonnées fournies par ton client.
FR12345678901
Non immatriculé, radié ou non activé pour les échanges intracommunautaires. N'applique pas l'autoliquidation tant que ton client ne t'a pas transmis un numéro valide. When a country's register does not answer, its numbers can show as invalid too, so check again before you tell your client.
Quand vérifier un numéro de TVA
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 numéro de TVA valide l'an dernier peut être radié aujourd'hui. Si tu appliques l'autoliquidation avec un numéro qui n'était plus immatriculé, l'administration fiscale peut te réclamer la TVA que tu n'as pas facturée, majorée d'intérêts. Une vérification de numéro de TVA prend quelques secondes ; cette discussion-là prend des semaines.
- Nouveau clientRun a European VAT number check before the first invoice to a business in another EU country.
- AutoliquidationChaque fois qu'une facture en dépend.
- ModificationsQuand un client change de nom, d'adresse ou de forme juridique.
- Clients réguliersA VAT registration check every few months, since registrations get suspended and cancelled.
Formats des numéros de TVA dans l'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.

Aucun pays de l'UE ne correspond. Les numéros britanniques (GB) ne figurent pas dans VIES.
La Grèce utilise EL, et non GR. Les espaces, points et tirets sont supprimés avant la vérification : tu peux donc coller les numéros tels que ton client les a écrits.
Vérifier plusieurs numéros à la fois
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.
Numéros britanniques : 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.
Questions fréquentes sur la vérification des numéros de TVA
VIES est le portail de la Commission européenne pour vérifier les numéros de TVA. Il ne possède pas de base de données propre : chaque requête est transmise à l'administration fiscale du pays qui a attribué le numéro, et VIES relaie la réponse. Le registre national est la source ; VIES est une porte d'accès commune aux 27 registres.
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.
