What Is an LEI Number?

An LEI number is a permanent 20-character alphanumeric identifier assigned to a legal entity. It helps financial institutions, regulators and other parties identify organizations consistently across markets and jurisdictions.

Each LEI record connects the identifier to public reference information about the entity, such as its legal name, registered address, jurisdiction and registration status.

The same legal entity keeps the same LEI. Routine updates, renewals and transfers do not change the code.

Who May Need an LEI in Canada?

Not every Canadian business needs an LEI. Whether an LEI number is required in Canada depends on the entity, transaction, financial institution and applicable reporting rules.

An LEI may be required when a legal entity:

  • Participates in financial transactions or accounts where an LEI is required
  • Is a counterparty to certain reportable derivatives
  • Uses certain institutional accounts or regulated trading arrangements
  • Is subject to applicable client-identification or transaction-reporting rules
  • Is asked for an LEI by a bank, broker or other counterparty

If you are unsure, confirm the requirement with the financial institution requesting the LEI before applying.

How to Register an LEI in Canada

Registering an LEI involves identifying the legal entity, confirming its official information and submitting the application for validation. Additional documents may be requested if the information cannot be confirmed using authoritative public sources.

1

Find or Enter the Organization

Search for the entity using its registered legal name or business registration number. Check that the selected organization is the legal entity that will use the LEI. A brand, fund or managing company may represent different legal entities.

2

Confirm the Entity Information

Review or provide the entityโ€™s registered legal name, business registration number, registration authority, federal, provincial or territorial jurisdiction, legal and headquarters addresses, legal form, accounting-consolidating parent information where applicable. The information should match official corporate records. Supporting documentation or authorization may be requested where required.

3

Submit the Application for Validation

Submit the application after confirming that the information is correct. LEI24 supports Canadian applications through the Registration Agent arrangement with Nasdaq CSD SE. Nasdaq CSD SE validates the record and completes final LEI issuance.

For information about documents, authorization and the application process, read how to get an LEI number in Canada.

    If the search shows that the LEI has lapsed, use the existing number to renew the LEI. Do not request a second identifier for the same entity.

    If the legal name, address, legal form or parent information is incorrect, you can update the LEI record.

    If a bank, broker or counterparty requires a document that can be saved or shared, you can download an LEI certificate based on the public LEI record.
