What does LEI Lookup & Company Search (GLEIF) do?
It looks up and searches the official Global LEI Index published by GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation): more than 2.9 million legal entities worldwide, updated daily. Search by company name, country, LEI or national registration number (KvK, SIREN, Companies House number…) and get the legal name, legal and HQ address, legal form, register ID, entity status, LEI status and renewal date, and optionally the reported direct and ultimate parent company.
Use it for KYB / KYC checks, CRM enrichment, supplier onboarding, ownership mapping and to monitor newly registered legal entities in a country (new funds, holdings and companies that just obtained an LEI).
How to use it
- Add company names and/or countries (ISO codes like
NL,DE), or paste LEIs or registration numbers to look up. - Optionally set LEI first registered after, status, category and include parents.
- For new-entity alerts: set a country, turn on monitor mode and schedule daily.

How much does it cost?
$2.00 per 1,000 records, no start fee. In monitor mode the first run is a free baseline; later runs charge only new LEIs. Set a maximum cost per run; the actor stops at the limit and only remembers what it delivered. The $5 monthly credit on the Apify free plan covers about 2,500 records.
Limits and privacy
- Parent data is only as complete as what entities report to GLEIF (many report an exception instead).
- Sole proprietors (natural persons) are skipped by default.
