What does my LEI status mean?
Every LEI record in the GLEIF database has a registration status. It shows whether the LEI is valid, being validated or transferred, or no longer in use.
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ISSUED | Valid and up to date. |
| LAPSED | Not renewed in time. The code still exists, but banks may refuse trades until it is renewed. It can be renewed at any time. |
| PENDING_VALIDATION | Application received; the LEI Issuer is still checking the data. |
| PENDING_TRANSFER | Being transferred to another LEI Issuer. The LEI stays valid during the transfer. |
| PENDING_ARCHIVAL | The LEI is being transferred to another LEI Issuer; the previous issuer's record is about to be archived. |
| RETIRED | No longer in use, e.g. because the entity was dissolved or closed. |
| MERGED | The entity merged into another one; the LEI is no longer used. |
| DUPLICATE | A second LEI for the same entity was found; this one is no longer used. |
| ANNULLED | Issued by mistake and cancelled. |
