vatcheckapi

Overview

vatcheckapi is run by Everapi GmbH, an Austrian company^[17]. It validates VAT numbers for all 27 EU countries, the UK and Northern Ireland, returning a format check, checksum, registration status and the registered company name and address as JSON, with the time of each check^[16]. Data comes from official VAT registries^[16][17].

The same quota covers EORI number validation, IBAN validation and e-invoice validation for XML, ZUGFeRD and Factur-X files; one VAT, EORI or IBAN check uses one validation, a ZUGFeRD or Factur-X PDF two^[16]. Failed calls do not count^[16]. Paid plans can enable overage up to a spending cap; otherwise the API returns HTTP 429 at the limit^[17]. The vendor states it is used by over 2,000 businesses and developers^[16].

Consultation numbers are not mentioned on the pages reviewed, and coverage stops at the EU and UK. Sandbox keys and team management start on the Medium plan, and IP allow-listing on the Large plan.
