Fast LEI Registration for UK Companies

Your LEI is an asset, and it needs to be managed properly and securely. Creating an account is the first step to get your LEI, and it just requires your name and email address. Your account will give you the ability to renew your LEI with a single click, and order more LEIs for group companies quickly.

In order for every organisation in the world to obtain an LEI code we need an LEI issuing platform that can scale. We built a solution that automates the LEI application process by connecting to the worldwide business registries in real time. This makes applications faster, and it makes the operational costs much lower. We pass on these savings to you by providing LEIs at a much lower cost than any of our competitors.

RapidLEI is one of about 8 LEI Issuers, also known as LOUs (Local Operating Units), accredited to issue LEIs to organisations, funds and trusts in the UK. RapidLEI was accredited in June 2018 and we sit alongside the London Stock Exchange Group in our support for growing the LEI ecosystem. We supply registration, renewal and other LEI services for legal entities wishing to utilise LEIs in the UK.

The Global LEI Foundation (GLEIF) was established by the Financial Stability Board and the G20 in 2014. The GLEIF is tasked to support the implementation and use of the LEI.

Since launching in 2018 the GLEIF has consistently recognised RapidLEI has the fastest growing LEI Issuer. RapidLEI is the #1 issuer of new LEIs globally and the #1 LEI Issuer for data quality. You can track LEI growth and data quality statistics from major LEI Issuers at rapidlei.com/stats.

LEI codes can be issued to registered companies and subsidiaries, non-profit organisations, sole proprietors, international branch offices, funds and trusts. Ask us if you are not sure about your status.

The RapidLEI platform uses automation and connects directly to Companies House to make the LEI application process quick and easy. Many LEIs are issued in just minutes, but if company identity data needs additional human-based checks, it takes a little longer. If this is the case, we still issue your LEI in just hours, and almost always on the same day as application.

Only the LEI Issuer managing the LEI can renew the LEI. If you want to renew an existing LEI with RapidLEI, you must first transfer it to RapidLEI. This is a simple process and our web forms guide you through the process (click for LEI transfer process).

You can use our Search LEI tool to find out the current status. We connect to the live global LEI index to check, and depending on status our system will help you renew, register, or reactivate a lapsed LEI quickly (click for urgent lapsed lei issues).
