There is no official validator hosted by HL7 at this time. If you've got the time and know-how, they do provide the schema and schematron that allows for testing with the C-CDA download package (requires a login to HL7.org, but free) http://www.hl7.org/implement/standards/product_brief.cfm?product_id=492
The US agency for health information technology (healthit.gov known as ONC) hosts a website with a bunch of online validation tools for C-CDA. That's a good place to start: https://sitenv.org/home
Click on C-CDA Sandbox and then click on C-CDA validator. You can upload a sample there and see if you get any errors (which you would want to address). There will likely be a lot of warnings which may be worked depending on your use case.
There's also another called the "C-CDA Scorecard" on that site as well. This isn't a validator but checks for some common errors in the semantics of C-CDA creation. Good luck!

I would use the NIST Validation Tool as @VibinGuvera recommended.
