Renewal of LEI

In order for your LEI code to work and be valid, it needs to be renewed every year. LEI renewal is thus necessary for companies or organizations dealing in securities. Here at LEI Certificate you can renew LEI code at one of the lowest prices on the market. You can choose to renew your LEI code for 1 year, 3 years or 5 years. If you choose to renew your LEI code for 5 years, you only pay £35 + VAT per year. This cost includes all fees such as GLEIF’s $11 annual fee.

This is how LEI code renewal works

Since an LEI code only is valid for a limited period of time, it is necessary for all legal entities that have one to renew the LEI code in order for it to function and to be valid. This is a must for all legal entities that want to continue to be able to make transactions in the securities market. Once your LEI code has expired, you will not be able to apply for a new code. Instead, it is your expired LEI code that needs to be renewed. This can be done through services like the one we offer on our site. Since the LEI code is a unique identity designation, it cannot be changed once a company or organization has been assigned a code.

If you’re uncertain about when your LEI code expires, you can do a search in the database found at GLEIF. There you can either search for the company name, or for the unique alphanumeric code that your company has been assigned. GLEIF’s database contains all Legal Entity Identifiers. If you have a company that has an LEI code but is no longer active in the securities market, there is no requirement that you renew the LEI code. It is, on the other hand, always good to have an active LEI if you would like to participate in securities trading again.

What is LEI transfer?

A legal entity that holds an LEI code has the opportunity to make an LEI transfer. An LEI transfer means that you move your LEI code to another supplier. The reason for doing this could for example be that you want all your LEI codes to lie with the same supplier. It could also be that you’re not happy with the prices at the LOU you’ve had your LEI issued by.
