Select "Transfer LEI" on the start page of the LEIReg website or under "LEI services".

On receipt of your application, the information you have entered will be cross-checked again documentation you may need to submit; see also Which documents have to be provided for the transfer of my LEI?

You can monitor the current status of the processing your application at any time under "My data" or the section "Application management".

On completion of the review, the LEI will be transferred and can be viewed and managed as necessary under "My data" in the section "LEIs/Data management".

What documentation is required for the transfer of my LEI?

For transfer requests, we require the documents listed here in addition to the above. During the LEI application process, a confirmation of authorization for LEI transfer and administration is created digitally, based on the information which has been provided by you. Bundesanzeiger Verlag GmbH reserves the right to request subsequently a personal signature or signed authorization documents if necessary.

The transfer of your active LEI from your current issuing authority is completely free of charge. Besides the registration, only a few data are required to initiate the free transfer. Your current LEI code will remain unchanged.
