    Frequently asked questions

    What is an LEI code?

    A Legal Entity Identifier is a 20-character global ID (ISO 17442) that identifies legal entities in financial transactions. It is managed by GLEIF.

    How long does it take?

    If your payment and the signed power of attorney reach us on a business day before 10 a.m. ET, you usually receive your LEI the same day; otherwise usually on the next business day. A transfer can take longer, because the current LEI Issuer has to release the LEI.

    What happens when my LEI expires?

    An LEI must be renewed every year. Once it lapses, banks and brokers may refuse trades until it is renewed. We remind you 60, 30, 14, 7 and 1 day before expiry – or choose a multi-year plan and the LEI is renewed automatically every year.

    Can I transfer my existing LEI to you?

    Yes. A transfer moves the management of your LEI to our partner LEI Issuer; the LEI code stays the same and you pay only for the renewal period. An authorised signatory may need to sign a transfer request.

    What documents do I need?

    A power of attorney signed by a legal representative of the company. We prepare it pre-filled: a board member can sign it online on the order page in a few seconds; otherwise a legal representative signs it digitally or by hand and you upload it. The LEI Issuer checks the entity data against the official business register.

    What do the 20 characters of an LEI mean?

    Characters 1–4 identify the LEI Issuer that first assigned the code, characters 5–18 are the unique part for your entity, and the last two characters are check digits (ISO 17442). The code itself contains no information about the company.

    Is the LEI valid worldwide?

    Yes. Each legal entity has exactly one LEI, and it is recognised in every country. You do not need a separate code for each country or bank.

    Which data is public?

    The LEI record in the GLEIF database is public: legal name, legal and headquarters address, registry code, legal form, status, renewal date and parent companies. The contact person's name, e-mail and phone are not published.

    How can I check an LEI?

    Search for it in our LEI lookup or at search.gleif.org. The status ISSUED means the LEI is current; LAPSED means it has not been renewed in time.

    Who issues the LEI?

    LEIs are issued only by LEI Issuers (LOUs) accredited by GLEIF. LEImint is a Registration Agent: we prepare your application, and LEIs ordered through us are issued by our partner LEI Issuer.

    Does the LEI replace the registry code?

    No. The LEI complements the national registry code and is used mainly in financial transactions and reporting. The registry code stays your company's identifier in your home country.

    How long does a transfer take?

    Usually up to a week. The current LEI Issuer has to release the LEI, and an authorised signatory may need to sign the transfer request. The code stays the same and an active LEI remains active during the transfer.
