FAQ
What is a LEI (Legal Entity Identifier)? A LEI is a 20-character alphanumeric code that uniquely identifies legal entities participating in financial transactions. It is mandated by financial regulators in many jurisdictions.
Is an API key required? No. The GLEIF API is publicly accessible with no registration or authentication.
What does ISSUED vs LAPSED status mean?
ISSUED means the entity's LEI registration is current and valid. LAPSED means the registration has expired (not renewed). The entity may still be active — only the LEI renewal has lapsed.
How many entities are in GLEIF? The GLEIF database contains 2M+ legal entities from 200+ countries, primarily financial institutions, banks, funds, and corporates.
What is a Managing LOU? The Local Operating Unit (LOU) is the organization authorized to issue and manage LEIs in a jurisdiction. Examples include Bloomberg, DTCC, and London Stock Exchange Group.
