Format validation vs. VIES registration lookup
Each VAT number report on Versys performs two distinct checks. Format validation confirms the number matches the country-specific pattern — correct prefix, length, and checksum where applicable. This check is instant and works offline. VIES lookup goes further, querying the European Commission's live VAT Information Exchange System to confirm the number is currently registered and active in the EU tax database. Together, these two checks give you the full picture needed for B2B compliance. Learn more on the VAT validation guide.
