  1. LEI Registration: A Complete Guide to Legal Entity Identification in Global Markets Introduction In today’s interconnected and highly regulated financial environment, transparency, accuracy, and trust are essential. To support these principles globally, regulators introduced the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) system. An LEI number is a globally recognised identifier that uniquely identifies legal entities participating in financial transactions. Whether an organisation operates locally or across borders, LEI number registration has become a critical requirement for compliance, operational efficiency, and credibility. What Is an LEI Number? A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a 20-character alphanumeric code issued under the ISO 17442 standard. It connects a legal entity to verified reference data such as: •Official legal name •Registered address •Country of incorporation •Registration authority and entity number The LEI system is overseen by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) and implemented by authorised Local Operating Units (LOUs). Why LEI Number Registration Is Important LEI registration is required or strongly recommended for many financial and regulatory activities worldwide, including: •Securities and derivatives trading •Cross-border payments •Regulatory reporting •Banking and investment transactions Key benefits of having an LEI include: •Faster and frictionless financial transactions

  2. •Reduced risk of misidentification and fraud •Improved transparency and audit readiness •Increased trust from investors, regulators, and counterparties •Seamless access to global markets and tenders Who Needs an LEI? An LEI is required for a wide range of entities, including: •Companies and corporations •Financial institutions •Investment funds •Trusts and partnerships •Government and public sector entities Any legal entity engaging in regulated financial activities may need an LEI. How LEI Number Registration Works The LEI registration process is simple when handled through a GLEIF-accredited issuer. The general steps include: 1.Submission of entity details through an online platform 2.Verification of information against official business registries 3.Validation and approval under GLEIF standards 4.Issuance of the LEI number and publication in the global LEI database Once issued, the LEI can be used immediately for regulatory and transactional purposes.

  3. LEI Renewal Process An LEI is valid for one year and must be renewed annually to remain active. An expired LEI may lead to: •Transaction rejections •Regulatory non-compliance •Delays in banking and reporting activities The LEI renewal process ensures that entity information remains accurate and up to date. Many organisations choose multi-year renewal options to reduce administrative effort and ensure continuous compliance. LEI Number Search and Verification An LEI number search allows users to verify the authenticity and status of an entity. LEI verification helps: •Confirm legal existence •Validate counterparty information •Reduce onboarding and compliance risk Public LEI databases allow users to perform LEI code search, LEI identifier search, and LEI number verification globally. LEI Certificate and Download After successful registration or renewal, entities can obtain an LEI certificate. This certificate serves as proof of active LEI status and is often required for: •Bank onboarding •Regulatory submissions •Internal compliance records Most issuers allow users to download the LEI certificate directly from their dashboard. Global Reach of LEI Services LEI services are available across multiple jurisdictions, including:

Why Choose a GLEIF-Accredited Issuer Working with a GLEIF-accredited LOU ensures: •Full compliance with the Global LEI System •Accurate data validation and publication •Secure handling of entity information •Ongoing update and challenge support Accredited issuers follow strict international standards for transparency, accuracy, and data integrity.
