LEIs require annual renewal under most regulations requiring an LEI such as MiFID II and EMiR.
Much like your car insurance, the LEI needs to be renewed to keep it up to date for data quality purposes.
If the LEI is allowed to expire it will become LAPSED. Once an LEI is renewed it will show as ACTIVE again.
A LAPSED LEI may have legal repercussions and the owner of the LEI can face financial penalties.
Investment service providers and Banks will often be requested for their clients LEI numbers. If these LEI numbers are not valid, they may face face penalties, or a no trade ruling.
Many financial institutions, banks, state bodies and semi-state bodies support the LEI initiative and have a mandate that all clients and customers must have an active LEI (Legal Entity identifier). To avoid complications with your banking institution or regulatory body we recommend maintaining an active LEI code.

Yes, you may renew any LEI however with certain requirements. If a partner entity, or client entity has an LEI that is due to be renewed you may take this responsibility. In order to do so you will be requested to provide an LoA (letter of authorisation) signed by the company authorised person. Upon receipt we may have this LEI renewed.
An LEI renewal is the act of updating your LEI on an annual basis. An LEI renewal is required in order to remain compliant with a litany of global regulations and requirements.
An LEI transfer is the act of moving an LEI from one provider to another. This may be for a number of reasons including personal preference, pricing, or in order to consolidate a large portfolio of LEIs scattered across providers.
It is advised to renew an LEI upon the act of a transfer, as the entity data within the LEI may not be fully accurate depending on the data quality standards of the provider from which the lEI is originating. However, it is not required.
In order to transfer an LEI, please click the LEI Transfer toggle above and follow the steps.
In an effort to reduce the annual task of renewing an LEI, we have introduced the multi-year LEI concept to our services. This allows you to register an LEI for up to 5 years. In many cases, and entity may only require an LEI for one year. However, in the case of an entity with a longer lifespan it is advised to register your LEI for up to 5 years.
Please note, the LEI renewal date will never show less than 1 year. This is because the LEI is required to be renewed every year. However, by choosing the 5 year, our system will trigger a renewal 60 days prior to the annual renewal date annually for the duration of the 5 years.
Yes, once an LEI has expired its status will change from ACTIVE, to LAPSED. An LEI should never show as lapsed as this indicates a lack of internal controls and governance around LEIs. If an entity is no longer trading it can be manually marked as ‘retired’.
Once an LEI has lapsed, in order to reactivate it you can simply renew the LEI as normal and the status will revert to it original state.
In order to renew more than one LEI at a time please use the Bulk LEI Purchase option.
If you require multiple LEIs at once, it is faster and more convenient to use the bulk LEI purchase method. Ordering in bulk also carries a discount based on the volume of LEIs in questions. The pricing structure is above.
An LEI bulk order application is the process of applying for more than one new LEIs or LEI renewals simultaneously in order to achieve the following:
The online bulk order is limited to 20 to avoid any issues with card payments. For any orders above 20 LEIs please contact [email protected] for a manual wire transfer payment method and an invoice will be raised.
You can easily transfer unlimited number of LEIs into your LEI Worldwide account using the LEI Bulk Transfer method outlined in the LEI Transfer toggle above.
You will be required to complete a bulk order form for transfers, which is similar to the new/renewal bulk application form.
