A small PHP library for validating VAT identification numbers (VATINs).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

This library is available on [Packagist](http://packagist.org/packages/ddeboer/vatin):

```
$ composer require ddeboer/vatin
```

If you want to use this library in a Symfony application, you can use the [VatinBundle](https://github.com/ddeboer/vatin-bundle) instead.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

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 \[VAT Information Exchange System (VIES)\] ([http://ec.europa.eu/taxation\_customs/vies/faq.html#item\_16](http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/faq.html#item_16)) SOAP web service:

```
use Ddeboer\Vatin\Validator;

$validator = new Validator;
$bool = $validator->isValid('NL123456789B01', true);
```
