European Unique Identifier
The European Unique Identifier (EUID) is a standardized identification number for companies operating in the European Economic Area.[1] The EUID is issued by the national business registers based on information provided during company registration.
The European Parliament adopted Directive 2012/17/EU on 13 June 2012 with the aim of setting up a system for connecting national business registers with each other.[2]
The EUID is part of the Business Registers Interconnection System (BRIS), set up in line with Directive 2012/17/EU and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/884.
Structure
The structure of the EUID is compliant with ISO 6523. It contains a country code (ISO 3166-1 alpha-2, except for Greece, which uses EL), register identifier, registration number and optionally a verification digit. It can consist of letters, numbers and dots.[3][4]
