Legal Entity Identifier Cost & Registration Fees

Prices referenced in euros. Use the pricing tool above to view USD, GBP or INR. The LEI code registration fee at RapidLEI starts at €70 for a 1-year registration. This single fee covers everything required to issue a new Legal Entity Identifier: the mandatory GLEIF levy, verification of the legal entity against authoritative business registries, official document retrieval, and publication in the global LEI database. There are no separate setup or administration charges.

LEI number renewal costs the same as a new registration at RapidLEI. Under GLEIF rules, every LEI must be renewed annually to remain active. If an LEI lapses, it may not be accepted for regulatory reporting, financial transactions, or compliance purposes. Multi-year plans automate annual renewals and reduce the per-year cost.

A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI number) costs from $63 per year for US organisations registering through RapidLEI for multi-year LEI codes. LEI registration requirements apply to US legal entities involved in financial reporting, OTC derivatives trading under CFTC/SEC rules, cross-border payments, and other regulated activities. The LEI is a global standard — the same code is used regardless of where the organisation is based.

GLEIF rules require every LEI number to be renewed annually to ensure the legal entity data it contains, such as the company name, registered address, and ownership structure, stays accurate and up to date. An LEI number that is not renewed becomes lapsed and will typically be rejected for regulatory reporting, MiFID II trading, instant payments under EU IPR, CFTC compliance, and other regulated workflows.

Yes. At RapidLEI, the cost of a new LEI code registration and an LEI renewal are identical for equivalent plan lengths. A 1-year new registration and a 1-year renewal both cost €70 (see pricing table for other currencies). This is not universal across LEI Issuers, some of whom charge a higher fee for new registrations.

The RapidLEI LEI fee is all-inclusive. It covers: the mandatory GLEIF fee; verification of the legal entity against official business registries; retrieval and usage of official corporate documents where required; publication and maintenance of LEI data in the global GLEIF database; and ongoing expert support. No additional charges are added at checkout.

The most straightforward way to reduce the effective annual cost of an LEI code is to purchase a multi-year plan. RapidLEI’s 3-year plan at €200 reduces the average yearly cost to approximately €67, and the 5-year plan at €315 brings it to approximately €63 per year. Organisations managing multiple LEIs can also access volume pricing through EnterpriseLEI.
