How often do you need to renew an LEI code?
GLEIF has decided that an LEI code must be renewed once a year. This is to ensure that the company information remains up-to-date and valid. If you wish to avoid having to renew your LEI code every year, you have the following options:
"An LEI must be renewed once a year"
- You can sign up for automatic renewal at Global FinReg.
- You can choose a validity period of 3 or 5 years. You can read more about the different validity periods and corresponding prices for renewal in this article.
- You can ask us to manage the renewal process by contacting us and ask for an invoice.

We do this through an automatic process via your country's business register, and because of this, you can rest assured that your LEI data is always correct.

Automatic renewal is a way to ensure that your LEI code remains active. You can sign up for automatic LEI renewal in three quick steps:
- Go to "My Page"

After this, your LEI code is renewed once a year, approx. 30 days before expiry. We deduct the money from your card when your LEI code has been renewed, and you subsequently receive a confirmation email and a receipt.
If the payment fails, or if you have been issued a new card, you will receive an email from us.
