# KYB VAT Validation

> Validate EU company VAT numbers across 27 member states using the iDenfy business verification VAT validation service integration.

iDenfy has introduced an option to perform VAT number validation for the EU market. This allows EU-market partners to verify whether a company has a valid VAT number. It also checks if the company’s name and address match the records associated with that VAT number.

**Currently, the service works with these countries:**

Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden.

To have this service enabled, please [book a demo call](https://idenfy.com/demo-page/) with our team.
