Unified Registration Number Field for Gravity Forms

Unified Registration Number Field for Gravity Forms brings a field for the Latvian unified registration number (vienotais reģistrācijas numurs) into Gravity Forms, the form plugin for WordPress. The field checks the eleven-digit number against its checksum on your own server on submission and so catches typos before the number ends up in your data. The checksum is a value calculated from all digits that reveals typos.

In the ISO 6523 identifier list, an international list of identifier types for organizations, this number has the scheme number 0218. If you want, the field also checks the open data of the Latvian company register (Uzņēmumu reģistrs) on data.gov.lv to see whether the number has been issued.

Who it is for

Who benefits.

The field is for forms in which business customers or suppliers from Latvia enter their details, for example for billing addresses or for onboarding new suppliers. It is also for developers who need a validated registration number in the settings of their own plugin.

What you get: only numbers in the correct form end up in your entries, because typos and wrong numbers are caught on submission. Your customer data, your invoices and your e-invoices build on that. An e-invoice is an invoice as a structured file that software can read.

The field checks in two stages: the first runs on every submission, the second is added only if you switch it on.

On your server only Plus the lookup on data.gov.lv
Eleven digits and checksum ✓ ✓
The number has been issued – ✓
What the check on your server catches and what the lookup on data.gov.lv adds.

What the field does for you

  • You find the field Registration Number (Latvia) in the form editor in the field group e-Invoicing Fields and add it to your form like any other field.
  • It checks every number on your server. It must have exactly eleven digits, and the weighted checksum must be correct. Each digit is multiplied by a fixed factor and the sum is checked.
  • If you want, it also confirms the number on data.gov.lv. So you find out whether the number has actually been issued, not just correctly formed. You do not need a key for this. Alternatively, the lookup runs through your invoicePress account.
  • Developers are covered as well: the same check is available as a field type for the settings pages of their own plugins, so you do not have to rebuild the rules yourself.

What it does not do

  • It does not fill in other fields of the form. It does not copy the name or address from the register.
  • It does not store the responses from data.gov.lv.
  • It does not make your form depend on data.gov.lv. If data.gov.lv is unreachable at the moment, your customer can still submit the form.

How it works

How the field checks an entry on submission: first on your server, then, if you want, on data.gov.lv, and after that the entry is saved.
