Who may NOT apply for an LEI?

An LEI may not be requested by any of the following:

  • Individuals;
  • Unregistered businesses and entities;
  • Operating divisions;
  • Branch offices within the same country as a head office with an existing registered LEI.*

*These entity types should all utilize the code of their parent or Head Office organization.

Info for Subsidiaries
A subsidiary office situated in a different jurisdiction/state but within the same nation as the main office does not qualify for an LEI as only one LEI per country is allowed at present.
