What is LEI Lookup?

The Legal Entity Identifier is the global ID for companies that trade financial instruments, borrow, or report to regulators. The GLEIF database behind it is free, official and global, and it includes something few free sources have: who owns whom. LEI Lookup searches it in bulk by name or LEI and returns clean records with addresses, registry numbers and the direct and ultimate parent company, ready for KYB, onboarding and corporate-tree research.

What does it do?

• Search by legal name (full-text, any language) or by exact 20-character LEI
• Filters: legal-address country and active entities only; exact name matches ranked first
• Entity data: legal name, other and transliterated names, entity status, legal form, category, jurisdiction
• Identifiers: LEI, local registry number (registeredAs) and registry ID, BIC codes, MIC
• Addresses: legal and headquarters address
• LEI registration: issued or lapsed, initial registration, last update, next renewal, corroboration level
• Parent companies (on by default): direct and ultimate parent with LEI, name and country, reporting exceptions (e.g. natural persons) and number of direct subsidiaries

Tips for best results

• Searching by LEI is exact and cheapest: one record per query.
• Set maxResultsPerQuery to 1 to take only the best name match.
• Use country to disambiguate common names.
• A reporting exception of NATURAL_PERSONS means the company is owned by individuals, not another entity.

FAQ

Does every company have an LEI?

No. LEIs are held by entities that trade financial instruments or must report to regulators; about 2.9 million worldwide.

How fresh is the data?

GLEIF publishes a new golden copy several times a day; the API reflects it.

What does LAPSED mean?

The LEI was not renewed. The entity can still exist.

Are shareholders included?

Only accounting-consolidation parents reported to GLEIF, not individual shareholders.

Do I need a key?

No.

Are not-found names charged?

No.

Honest limits

• Full-text name search is broad; review matches or use LEIs.
• Ownership data covers consolidation parents only.
• GLEIF rate limits apply; the actor paces requests.
• Entities without an LEI are not in this database.
