Legal Entity Identifier Cost & Registration Fees

How Much Does an LEI Number Cost?

An LEI number typically starts at a simple annual fee, with the final amount depending on the market and term you choose. The price shown on this page is meant to reflect the full customer cost for registration or renewal, including the standard GLEIF levy, entity validation, document checks, and publication of the LEI in the global database. There are no separate setup charges layered on top.

Longer-term plans reduce the yearly cost, but they do not remove the annual maintenance requirement behind an active LEI. Under GLEIF rules, LEI reference data still needs to be reviewed each year so the identifier remains active for reporting, trading, and compliance use. A multi-year plan keeps that process covered across the selected term while reducing admin overhead and lowering the risk of an unintended lapse.

Do the listed prices already include GLEIF fees?

Yes. The displayed package pricing is intended to reflect the live customer checkout total for the selected package, including the standard LEI-related charges shown in that flow.

Is LEI transfer priced separately here?

Not as a standalone comparison card on this page. When transfer is required for renewal or selected directly, the exact transfer handling appears inside the existing transfer or renewal flow.

Does a multi-year plan remove the annual validation requirement?

No. Multi-year pricing reduces repeat purchasing, but LEI reference data still needs to stay current during the covered period so the LEI remains active.
