Search results include detailed legal entity reference data. For example, the organization’s legal and HQ address, and the current status of both the LEI and the organization incorporation. You can view its corporate structure to determine whether the organization has parent or children companies within the corporate group. This is useful for company verification and KYC (Know Your Customer) / KVB (Know Your Business). What is an LEI, and what is it used for? LEI is the acronym for Legal Entity Identifier. LEI Codes or LEI Numbers are represented by a 20-character string (e.g. 529900T8BM49AURSDO55). The LEI code refers to a Legal Entity such as company, organization, firm, government body, trust, or fund in the Global LEI System (GLEIS). An LEI record contains information such as the company name, address, incorporation status. They tell you who is who, and who owns whom. LEI reference data provides identity assurance in financial transactions, KYC (Know Your Customer), Know Your Business (KYB) client onboarding and other organization identity use cases. Any organization, Government body or individual can search the LEI database maintained by the GLEIS and rely on the validated data about the organizations they are doing business with. The LEI number is based on the ISO 17442 standard. Each Legal Entity Identifier is assigned only to a single Legal Entity, even across different geographical jurisdictions. What is the Global LEI Index? The Global LEI Foundation (GLEIF) index is a global directory of free, openly accessible source of company information for use in financial transactions, KYC, and organization assurance use cases. LEI codes are entered into the LEI index. Counter-parties and relying parties search the LEI index and utilize the verified organization data in transactions and onboarding. The Global LEI System (GLEIS) contains both level 1 data (who is who) and level 2 data (who owns whom, both parent and children) for the organization behind each LEI code issued.

The LEI record reveals verification information on the legal entity used for global Know Your Customer (KYC), financial transactions or organization identity assurance purposes. It will tell you if the legal entity has kept its LEI code active and information up to date, and the operational / incorporation status of the organization. ACTIVE: the Legal Entity reports it is legally registered and operational. INACTIVE: the Legal Entity reports it is no longer legally registered and/or operating. This could be as a result of business closure, acquisition by or merger with another (or new) Entity, or determination of illegitimacy. What is the LEI Status? ISSUED: The new LEI registration is complete and the LEI code issued. It is not yet necessary to renew the LEI. LAPSED: The LEI registration has not been renewed by the NextRenewalDate and is not known by public sources to have ceased operation. RETIRED: An LEI registration for a legal entity that has ceased operation, without having been merged into another entity. Note: The GLEIF uses additional less common LEI statuses.

FULLY CORROBORATED: Authoritative public sources, such as business registries and other directories, or are used to validate against and corroborate the entity information submitted by the applicant and subsequently contained within the LEI record. RapidLEI refers to fully corroborated LEIs as validated. PARTIALLY CORROBORATED: As per Fully Corroborated, but due to conflicts of authoritative data or unavailability of data, the legal entity information submitted by the applicant can only be partially corroborated. ENTITY SUPPLIED ONLY (ESO): The entity information cannot be corroborated against public sources. The record comprises of data submitted by the legal entity only. RapidLEI prefers to not issue ESO unless absolutely necessary and refers to these types of records as non-validated.
