Cross-check an invoice's identifiers

The textbook case, verified in production: Carrefour's VAT number is valid at VIES; placed on an invoice showing Danone's company number, it returns incoherent. That is precisely what a VIES validation alone cannot see.

What the route returns

Catalogue description, exactly as agents read it:

Invoice verification for France — cross-check the identifiers PRINTED ON an invoice in one call: SIREN against the official registry (existence, active status, live), the VAT number on the invoice against the one computed from the SIREN AND live against VIES, the IBAN (ISO form, key digits, bank identified). Deterministic verdict coherent/incoherent/inverifiable, closed-list reasons. Flags a VAT that belongs to another company or a ceased supplier. Not a payee verification.

Price and billing

Price: $0.02. The authoritative amount is the one in the 402 quote returned by the route itself — not this text, which derives from the same grid but is still just a page.

An error response cancels the payment: a 400, 404 or 503 is never billed. An upstream outage closes the route with a 503 rather than serving a degraded response.

What this route does not do

The route does not read the PDF: it cross-checks the identifiers you pass. Extraction stays on your side, which avoids sending a whole accounting document to a third party. And it is not a payee verification.

How you pay

Every route is paid per call, in USDC or EURC on the Base network, over the x402 protocol: no account to create, no API key, no subscription. The first call returns a 402 quote your client settles, then replays the call. A failed call is never billed.

Would you rather have a euro invoice and prepaid credits? That is in preparation, and we will not announce a date until it is open. Write to contact@sirenic.eu and we will let you know when it opens.

Paid responses are Ed25519-signed: you can later prove what was served to you, and when. The whole catalogue is free to read in the OpenAPI document and in llms.txt.

Routes used and pricing

The IBAN check is not a payee verification: neither the account holder's name nor the account's existence is checked (verification_titulaire: non_disponible).

Sirenic is not an accredited French e-invoicing platform (PDP), never accesses the central directory, and neither issues, transmits nor routes any invoice.
