What does CVR stand for?

CVR is short for Momsregistreringsnummer (Merværdiafgift). It is the local name for Denmark's VAT identification number.

vatverify queries VIES directly for every validation. Valid responses are cached for 30 days; invalid responses are cached for 24 hours. The "Re-check now" button bypasses the cache and forces a fresh registry call.

Can I integrate this in my own code?
