Why can I not see the company name and address?

Some EU countries, for example Germany, do not disclose them through VIES. You always see whether the number is valid.

Where does the data come from?

From VIES, the official register of the European Commission. On every check it asks the tax administration of the country that issued the number.

All 27 EU member states and Northern Ireland (XI). Greece uses the prefix EL.

Yes. We connect VIES to invoicing, CRM or order handling, so every new customer is checked automatically. This is the kind of automation we build.
