What is the reason for having to renew my LEI?
Your LEI code will in principle remain valid indefinitely and its status will remain active and updated for 12 months from first issuance.
Your LEI code will after one year remain publicly available, although the information may be outdated. The Global LEI System therefore considers annual checking of your data essential to ensure that the system data will remain valid and of high quality. The system in this way ensures transparency based on updated LEI statuses.
Your LEI will be renewed after successful annual checks of your LEI information and its status will remain active and updated for another year.
Should no validation respectively renewal take place, the public LEI status will show that the information may be outdated. Please take note that financial transactions may no longer be possible with this LEI status.
How will I be notified of mandatory LEI renewals?
If you use our above mentioned Auto-Renewal service, we will inform you even earlier - two weeks before we generate the order for you.
You may also look up your LEI renewal date via the LEIReg “Search” function by simply searching for your LEI number and clicking on your company name. You will find the date and time under “Next renewal”.
