France
Check a company in the French business register
To complement verifications in the VIES system, VATify.eu verifies French companies in the registers of commercial courts (infogreffe). With the use of commercial registers, VATify.eu bypasses the common unavailability of VIES.
VATify.eu verifies status, title, address, business sector, registration date and status and valid VAT rates.
Even though data on companies from France is available on VIES, the system is regularly overloaded during business hours. Use VATify.eu to verify French VAT IDs:
Notification samples
When a change with a particular company is noted, a notification with registered changes will be sent to you. Once per week, VATify.eu sends a status report(XLSX file) with all available data on companies you are tracking.
Unique company identifier
The VAT ID (Numéro de TVA intracommunautaire - n° TVA) and SIREN or SIRET numbers are used for unique identification of French companies.
VATify.eu checks companies using the VAT ID, SIREN or SIRET numbers. Here is a list of valid number formats:
Type | Number format | Description |
---|---|---|
n° TVA | FR12123456789 | "FR" and 1 block of 2 control digits and 1 block of 9 digits |
SIREN | 123 456 789 | 9 digits |
SIRET | 123 456 789 01234 | 14 digits |
