LEI application

»Applying for your LEI is simple: Start executing secure financial transactions in just a few steps with the Legal Entity Identifier«

As one of few official LEI issuing authorities accredited by GLEIF, we support you in applying for your LEI, renewing your LEI or changing your provider.

Whether you wish to make notifications to the national register or report important transactions, only an active Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) ensures you can fulfill your corporate obligations and execute legally compliant financial transactions.

Since 3 January 2018, European companies participating in securities trading have been obliged to maintain a Legal Entity Identifier for transactions and for fulfilling their legal reporting obligations.
