Short answer
Foreign counterparty verification requires more than checking an EU VAT number. European countries use different registries, filing standards and disclosure systems. eVerification structures the available information and turns it into a practical commercial risk assessment.

No. VIES confirms EU VAT activity, but it does not provide a complete view of financial condition, insolvency or payment risk.

Can I receive the report in English or German?
Yes. The service and materials are available in multiple languages.
What data should I provide for a foreign company?
Ideally the full legal name, country, EU VAT/VIES number and, if known, local registration number.
Is verification useful before exporting goods?
Yes, especially for a first transaction, a high-value order or delivery on credit terms.
