I'm afraid the NL validation is incomplete: my VAT ID, NL004350351B91, is not accepted while it is in fact valid (confirmed with the online VIES check). I suspect this may have to do with a change in 2020 or so: before that time, the btw-id for self-employed people consisted of 'NL'+their BSN (the Dutch SSN) + "B" + two digits. While 'leaking' a SSN isn't as problematic in NL as it is in some other countries, it's not great, so they stopped doing that. Apparently the BSN adheres to the `MOD-11#i` pattern, while the new number does not. I can share a second number that fails the validator but is correct according to VIES privately on request. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
