Regular expression/Mononumerical post code with delimeter Regular expression/Not available post code Regular expression/Ordinal sequence of numbers Regular expression/Single digit post code Regular expression/Very long digits post code. | ERROR |

| Identifier format inaccurate (European value added tax identifier (Germany)) | This rule checks the syntax, i.e. format of the European value added tax identifier in Germany with respect to the reference format. Any deviation (i.e. white spaces where they are not specified) result in a violation. The European value added tax identifier in Germany consists of exact 9 numerical digits prefixed by "DE". This rule checks possible whitespaces, hyphens or dots that might be comprised in the identifier value. If there are any whitespaces, hyphens or dots then the rule is violated. | INFO |

| Identifier format invalid (European value added tax identifier (Germany)) | The European value added tax identifier in Germany consists of exact 9 numerical digits prefixed by "DE". This rule checks the existence of exact 9 digits without considering possible whitespaces, hyphens or dots that might be comprised in the identifier value. If there are less/more or non-numeric digits the rule is violated. | ERROR |
| Identifier format invalid (Tax identification number (Germany)) | The format of the German Steuernummer can vary depending on the tax office and the individual's circumstances. However, a general format for the Steuernummer in Germany is as follows: XX/XXX/XXXXX
Explanation of the format: The Steuernummer consists of three parts separated by slashes. The first part (XX) represents the two-digit identifier for the federal state tax office. The second part (XXX) represents the three-digit identifier for the district tax office. The third part (XXXXX) represents the individual's unique five-digit identification number within the tax office. The length of the tax number varies between 10 and 11 digits in the standard scheme of the countries. The federal scheme standardizes this to 13 digits. (F)FF represents the last two or three digits of the four-digit federal tax office number (BUFA number). In addition, BBB(B) stands for the district number within the area of the respective tax office. In North Rhine-Westphalia it is 4 digits, otherwise 3 digits. (U)UUU is the personal distinction number. In North Rhine-Westphalia it is 3 digits, otherwise 4 digits. P is a single-digit check digit . If a 13-digit tax number is required for electronic transmission, a 0 must be inserted between the 4th and 5th digits. | INFO |
