Validate VAT identification numbers
A small PHP library for validating VAT identification numbers (VATINs).
This library is available on Packagist:
$ composer require ddeboer/vatin
If you want to use this library in a Symfony application, you can use the
VatinBundle instead.
Validate a VAT number’s format:
use Ddeboer\Vatin\Validator;
$validator = new Validator;
$bool = $validator->isValid('NL123456789B01');
Additionally check whether the VAT number is in use, with a call to the VAT
Information Exchange System (VIES) SOAP web service:
use Ddeboer\Vatin\Validator;
$validator = new Validator;
$bool = $validator->isValid('NL123456789B01', true);
