EORI validation — FAQ
What is an EORI number?+
EORI stands for Economic Operators Registration and Identification. It identifies businesses and people in customs processes across Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the EU. Customs authorities use it to process and clear shipments.
How do I check if an EORI number is valid?+
Enter the full EORI above. EORICheck routes GB numbers to HMRC and XI or EU-27 numbers to the European Commission TAXUD service, then returns the register's result with its source and check time.
Why does an EORI number need to be valid?+
An invalid or mistyped EORI on a customs declaration blocks the shipment at the border. Importers, freight forwarders and customs brokers validate the EORI of their counterparties before filing.
Which countries does this cover?+
Great Britain (GB), Northern Ireland (XI) and the 27 EU member states. GB is checked through HMRC; XI and EU-27 prefixes are checked through the European Commission.
Is this an official certification?+
No. EORICheck is independent and surfaces the result returned by HMRC or the European Commission. For legally binding confirmation, consult the relevant customs authority.
Can I validate EORI numbers in bulk, by API or monitor changes?+
Yes. EORICheck offers one-key EORI and VAT APIs, CSV batch validation and recurring EORI monitoring with dated change history on existing paid plans.
Need repeat or automated EORI checks?
Use the API, validate a CSV or monitor EORI status changes.
The register follows the EORI prefix
GB numbers are checked through HMRC. XI and EU-27 numbers are checked through the European Commission's TAXUD EORI service. Every result names the source and check time; EORICheck remains an independent tool, not an official certification.
