LEI Monitor: GLEIF renewal & status alerts for your counterparties

Watch the Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) of your clients, counterparties or own group companies and get alerted when a renewal is due, an LEI has lapsed, or the entity's status, legal name, address or ultimate parent changed since the last run. Data comes from GLEIF, the official global LEI system, published under CC0.

Why it matters: under MiFID II / EMIR and similar rules, trades and reports with counterparties need a valid (ISSUED) LEI. A lapsed LEI is an operational and compliance problem, so it is good to know a month before it happens, not after.

What you get per LEI

Example (real run, 13.10.2026)

Search "Volkswagen AG" → the Actor expands the legal form (AG → Aktiengesellschaft), finds the exact legal name and flags two things a compliance team wants to know: an old DUPLICATE registration, and the valid LEI with its renewal due in 31 days:

{
 "lei": "529900NNUPAGGOMPXZ31",
 "legalName": "VOLKSWAGEN AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT",
 "registrationStatus": "ISSUED",
 "nextRenewalDate": "2026-11-14T10:04:05Z",
 "daysToRenewal": 31,
 "entityStatus": "ACTIVE",
 "legalAddress": {
  "city": "Wolfsburg",
  "region": "DE-NI",
  "country": "DE",
  "postalCode": "38440"
 },
 "alerts": [
  "renewal_due_soon"
 ],
 "changes": [],
 "gleifUrl": "https://search.gleif.org/#/record/529900NNUPAGGOMPXZ31"
}

Same run: a real Japanese LEI that lapsed 5 days earlier → ["lapsed"]; Deutsche Bank and Siemens → no alert. Second run in changes_and_alerts mode → only the LEIs that still need attention.

Input

{ "leis": ["7LTWFZYICNSX8D621K86"], "companyNames": ["Volkswagen AG"], "renewalWarningDays": 60, "outputMode": "changes_and_alerts" }

• companyNames finds LEIs by legal name. Exact legal-name matches are preferred (common legal forms like AG, GmbH, Ltd, Inc, SA, plc are expanded); if none match exactly, full-text candidates are returned (SUMMARY.nameSearches[].matchType tells you which). Check the legalName.
• Up to 100 LEIs per request to GLEIF. includeParents adds one lookup per LEI.
