This validation service reports validation errors on a very detailed level free of charge. Any additional support for correcting errors in your file is unfortunately not included and is only available for our customers. All documents submitted to the validation service are stored and processed in a non-persistent manner for the duration of the validation only, and are deleted after the result is displayed.
