Canadian LEI offers convenient and secure registration services.
To apply for an LEI number for the first time, please complete the application on our website. We request the required data from the Canada’s Business Registries and will start the preliminary validation of your data immediately.
The LEI number must be renewed at least once a year to remain valid in the GLEIF database. If you use Canadian LEI as your agent to renew your LEI, the number will be transferred to our administration.
The purpose of LEI numbers is to make it easier to identify a counterparty in financial transactions. The issuance of numbers is regulated by the global umbrella organisation GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation)
Canadian LEI s customers only pay for applying for or renewal of the LEI number. Updating data, transferring the LEI number or other activities related to the number are all free of charge for our customers.
Yes, we also accept LEI applications for Trusts. If Trust is not registered with Canada’s Business Registries or Charity Commission, please insert “Not Registered” as a company number in the LEI application.
In order to issue LEI for a Trust, we need some supporting documents to verify legal name on the Trust, legal address and Trustees. This can be for example a Trust DEED, establishing agreement or any other similar document to confirm the data.
