The requirement for LEIs has been driven by the implementation of a range of domestic and international regulations, including financial transaction reporting obligations.
A LEI can be issued to:
- Registered companies including subsidiaries and branch offices
- Funds & Trusts
- Not for profit and charity organisations
- Government departments & agencies
- Partnerships
- Sole Proprietors
Please note, a LEI can NOT be requested for individuals or operating divisions of an entity.
We recommend that you seek your own advice on whether your entity requires a LEI.
