Search 2.5 million registered legal entities across every country and get flat rows — legal name, LEI, address, entity status, registration status and renewal dates. One public registry, no API key, no per-country integration.
Why this registry
The alternatives all need a key per user and a build per country: UK Companies House returns 401 unauthenticated, OpenCorporates returns 401, and national registries each have their own shape. GLEIF answers a plain request and covers the world — which is why this is one Actor instead of fifty.

Sample output
{ "id": "lei:529900YDAG61JYILJZ53", "legalName": "Siemens","country": "ZA", "city": "Midrand", "status": "ACTIVE","legalForm": "8888", "jurisdiction": "ZA" }
Default input
Runs with no editing: {"query": "Siemens"}. Add a Country filter (PK, US, AE, KE) to
narrow it.
Limitations
- GLEIF covers entities that have or applied for an LEI, which means most mid-size and large organisations and fewer micro-businesses. It is not a full company register.
- No financials, directors or filings — that is Companies House, OpenCorporates or SEC territory, each with its own key.
- Company names match as the registry stores them, so a trading name may not be found.
- Optional
countryfilter uses the registered address country, not the jurisdiction.
Pricing
Pay per result — charged for rows returned, not for the run.
