Finding and checking an EORI
Information on how to find and check an EORI.
HMRC keeps a database of all the GB and XI prefixed EORI numbers.
The EU keeps a database of all EORI numbers issued by member states. This database also contains all the XI prefixed EORIs that are registered to Northern Ireland.
If you cannot find your EORI number, you will need your government gateway login details – these are the details you used to register for an EORI – sign in through Get an EORI number: Who needs an EORI - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
You should not sign-in via any other login page. For example, business tax account, personal tax account or the generic HMRC log in account. Once logged in, your EORI number will be displayed.
You can also find your EORI number by logging into your CDS financial Dashboard.
