What an LEI certificate is and when it is used

An LEI certificate is a PDF summary of the public LEI record. Banks, auditors, and counterparties use it to confirm the legal entity name, status, and issuer. It is a common requirement in onboarding packs, KYC checks, and regulatory reporting.

Certificates are often requested before payments or trading activity. Having a current certificate ready can reduce back-and-forth with compliance teams and speed up approval timelines.

There are two common formats: a free certificate with essential data and a premium certificate that includes the full LEI record copy. Both are delivered as PDFs and can be attached to onboarding packs, counterparty confirmations, or audit files.

How to find the right LEI certificate

Search by LEI code

Enter the 20-character LEI code to retrieve the record instantly. This is the most reliable method and returns a single entity. Use it when you already know the LEI.

Search by company name

If you only have an entity name, use the search option and confirm the correct record before requesting the certificate. Matching the country and registration authority ID helps avoid picking the wrong entity.

Search by order reference

If you registered through GlobalLEI, the order reference or confirmation email can also be used to find the LEI and retrieve the certificate when the LEI code is not immediately available.

What information appears on the certificate

Entity name and registration references

The certificate includes the legal entity name, registration authority reference, and country. This ensures the certificate can be matched to official registries and onboarding documents.

Issuer and LOU details

Issuer details show which LOU validated the record. Banks often check the issuer to confirm the LEI is maintained by an authorised GLEIF-accredited organisation.

Status and record dates

Certificates display status, last update, and the next renewal due date. These dates act as the practical validity window for compliance checks.

Troubleshooting and next steps

If you cannot find your record, check spelling, remove punctuation, or search with the registered legal name. Some records may take time to appear in the public index. If the LEI is still missing, contact support with your LEI, entity name, and email.

If your certificate shows lapsed status, renew the LEI before sharing it with a bank or counterparty so the record reflects current status and dates. → Renew LEI

If another provider manages the LEI and you need the premium certificate, transfer the LEI first. Transfers are free and the premium certificate becomes available once the record is managed by GlobalLEI. → Transfer your LEI
