Global Company Registry Search: LEI, Addresses & Parents

Search more than 2.5 million legal entities worldwide by company name or LEI code (Legal Entity Identifier). Each row includes the legal name, other and former names, entity status, legal form, jurisdiction, local registration number, registration authority, legal and headquarters address, BIC codes, LEI registration dates and, optionally, direct and ultimate parent companies. Data comes from the official GLEIF (Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation) API, free under CC0. No login, no API key.

Who is it for?

• KYC, AML and compliance teams verifying counterparties and corporate ownership.
• Sales and B2B data teams enriching company lists with official names, addresses and registration numbers.
• Finance, procurement and risk teams mapping subsidiaries to their parent groups.
• Researchers and journalists investigating corporate structures across countries.

How to use it

1. Add company names (e.g. Tesla, Siemens) and/or LEI codes.
2. Optionally limit to a country (2-letter code) and to active entities only.
3. Turn on Include parent companies to add the direct and ultimate parent.
4. Click Start and export to JSON, CSV or Excel.

Input example

{"companyNames": ["Tesla"], "country": "US", "maxResultsPerName": 10, "includeParents": true}

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-event: a small fee per company returned, plus a tiny per-run start fee, with no subscription and no separate platform usage costs. For example, 1,000 companies cost about $2. Searches with no matches and invalid LEIs are not charged. Set Maximum cost per run to cap your spending.

Use it through the API, integrations or AI agents

Run it from the Apify API, on a schedule, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets. AI agents can find and call it through the Apify MCP server. Output is clean JSON with the same fields on every run.

FAQ

Is it legal? Yes. GLEIF publishes LEI data as a free public good under the CC0 license, and this tool uses its official API within the published rate limit. Records registered to sole proprietors (individual people) are skipped, and "care of" lines naming individuals are removed from addresses.

What is an LEI? A 20-character global ID for companies, funds and other legal entities that take part in financial transactions; it is required in many regulatory reports.

Why is a parent missing? Parents only appear when the entity has reported them to GLEIF.
