Transfer your LEI
How to transfer an LEI to a new provider: the transfer is free, the LEI number stays the same and you only pay for the renewal.
You can transfer your LEI at any time, including one ordered through another LEI Issuer or Registration Agent. The code stays exactly the same, so your bank and broker do not need to change anything. Only the organisation that manages and renews the LEI changes.
Why transfer?
- Clear prices and multi-year plans.
- Automatic reminders and support in your language.
- All of your group's LEIs in one place.
How the transfer works
- Search for your company below and choose "Transfer" – we show who manages the LEI today.
- Pay for the renewal period; the transfer itself is free.
- A board member signs the power of attorney online, or a legal representative signs it and you upload it. The current LEI Issuer may also ask an authorised signatory to confirm the transfer.
- The current LEI Issuer releases the LEI, usually within a week. The LEI stays valid during this time.

How it works

- Choose a plan and pay – Pick 1, 3 or 5 years and pay by card, a local payment method or invoice.
- Receive your LEI – We send your application to our partner LEI Issuer, which validates the data and issues the LEI. You receive the LEI by e-mail.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep trading during the transfer?
Yes. A valid LEI remains valid while it is being transferred.
Does the transfer cost extra?
No. You only pay for the renewal period of 1, 3 or 5 years.
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.
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.
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.
