^LV\d{11}$Checks the format only. The validator below also checks the check digit where the number has one it can compute.
Check a Latvia VAT number
Include the country prefix. EU numbers are checked against VIES in real time, UK numbers with a separate live check.
How Latvia VAT numbers are built
LV followed by 11 digits. Numbers of legal entities start with 4 or higher; numbers of individuals are based on their personal code.
Check digit
Legal entities: a weighted modulo-11 check digit, which the validator checks. Individuals: the validator checks that the first six digits form a date.
Common mistakes
- Being in the Enterprise Register does not make a company a VAT payer; check the PVN number itself.
Is the number registered?
A valid format and check digit only mean the number could exist. Whether it is currently registered for VAT is known to the State Revenue Service (VID), and VIES asks that register for you. Where Latvia shares them, VIES also returns the registered name and address.
Check a Latvia number with the validator above, in the VAT number checker, or up to 50 at once with the bulk VAT validator.
