Update Your LEI Record
Outdated LEI records can contribute to delays in trading, onboarding, or reporting checks. Update your LEI details promptly to help support trading and reporting compliance.
An LEI number is a globally recognized identifier linked to key reference data about your entity. Keeping this data accurate is essential in regulatory and reporting contexts where LEIs are required. Under regimes such as UK MiFIR, firms may be unable to execute trades for eligible clients that do not have an LEI.
To support compliance, your LEI reference data should be kept current. While the annual LEI renewal process provides a yearly re-validation of your record, any material changes to your entity’s details should be submitted as they occur. This helps prevent data mismatches that could create issues in trading, onboarding, or reporting workflows.
An LEI update helps keep your entity’s public LEI record aligned with its current reference data. Since an LEI is used in regulatory reporting, onboarding, and entity verification contexts, keeping your reference data accurate can support smoother interactions with financial institutions and help avoid delays when renewing your LEI.
| Purpose | Frequency | |
|---|---|---|
| LEI Renewal | Re-validate LEI reference data with the managing LEI issuer. | Annual |
| LEI Update | Amend LEI reference data after changes to entity details. | As needed |
| LEI Transfer | Move the LEI record to a different managing LEI issuer. | Optional |
Many LEI issuers allow for renewing an LEI before the next renewal date, and some open renewal up to 60 days in advance. However, an LEI update may be needed whenever entity details change so that your reference data remains current.
Changes that may need to be reflected in your LEI record include:
Name Changes
A new legal name filed with the relevant company registry.
Registered Address Changes
A change to the registered address or other core registration details.
Restructuring
Mergers, acquisitions, or parent-relationship changes that affect the record.
Legal Form Changes
A change in legal form, such as Ltd to PLC.
Keeping LEI reference data current can help reduce mismatches that may create delays in onboarding, reporting, or compliance checks. If the annual LEI renewal is missed, the registration status may become lapsed.
Our process is designed to help you renew or update your LEI record efficiently.
Identify Changes in Your LEI Record
Enter your 20-character LEI and select the fields that need updating. If you are renewing your LEI without changes, confirm that your existing reference data remains accurate.Verify Company Information
Provide any supporting company documents required to verify the change, where applicable. This helps ensure the LEI update can be validated against reference-data requirements.Submit for Validation
We submit the update to the managing LEI issuer, or support the submission process where applicable. Once accepted, the renewed LEI record is reflected in the Global LEI Index, which may help avoid delays in reporting or onboarding workflows.If your annual LEI renewal is missed, the registration status in the Global LEI Index changes to Lapsed. A lapsed LEI remains valid, but it shows that the record is behind schedule for renewal.
