Registration Status:
Registration Status refers to the status of the LEI record on the GMEI Portal (formerly referred to as "Renewal State"). Possible values for this field are:
- ISSUED - The LEI registration has been validated and issued.
- MERGED - The LEI registration for the entity has been merged into another legal entity, such that this legal entity no longer exists as an operating entity.
- RETIRED - The LEI registration for the entity has ceased operation, without being merged into another entity.
- DUPLICATE - The LEI registration has been determined to be a duplicate of another LEI Registration; the DUPLICATE status is assigned to the non-surviving registration (i.e. the LEI that should no longer be used).
- TRANSFERRED - An LEI registration that has been transferred to a different managing LOU.
- PENDING_TRANSFER - An LEI registration requested to be transferred to another LOU. The request is being processed at the sending LOU.
- PENDING_ARCHIVAL - An LEI registration is about to be transferred to a different LOU, after which its registration status will revert to a non-pending status.
- ANNULLED - An LEI registration that was marked as erroneous or invalid after it was issued.
- CANCELLED - An LEI registration that was abandoned prior to issuance of an LEI.
Entity Status:Entity Status indicates whether the entity itself is active or inactive.
- ACTIVE is assigned to an entity that has independent legal status. Active entities include solvent companies in normal operation, as well as those entities which are in administration, in receivership, or bankrupt, but which still have legal status.
- INACTIVE is assigned for entities that no longer have independent legal status as a result of dissolution.
Managing LOU:The Managing Local Operating Unit (LOU) field indicates which provider has management of the given entity record. The following pre-LOUs (with their assignment prefix) are currently supported by the GMEI Utility portal:
- GMEI Utility (5493) - Managing entity records in over 230 jurisdictions
If the Managing LOU field is not one of those supported by the GMEI Utility portal, then the record is being renewed by another LOU. As a result, the record on the GMEI Utility Issued Database may be out of date, and the user should refer to the other LOU listed in this field for further information. For an up-to-date list of prefixes, please visit
www.leiroc.org.
Legal Form:The Legal Form is dependent upon the jurisdiction of the entity. Oftentimes, the legal form of an entity is appended to the Legal Name. The values for this field are dependent upon the legal country that is selected.
Entity Category:Indicates (where applicable) the category of the entity identified by this LEI data record, as a more specific category within the broad definition given in ISO 17442. Selecting an Entity Category is optional when Registering or Renewing an Entity on the GMEI Utility.
Permissible values for Entity Category include:
- BANK: The legal entity is a bank.
- BRANCH: The legal entity is a branch of another legal entity. (Note: Branch records must define a Headquarters Relationship. For additional guidance, see Level 2 Data on page 7.)
- CORPORATION: The legal entity is a corporate entity.
- FUND: The legal entity is a fund managed by another legal entity.
- GOVERNMENT: The legal entity is a government entity, department, ministry, or municipal.
- SOLE_PROPRIETOR: The legal entity is an individual acting in a business capacity.
- OTHER: All other legal entities not covered by an existing category.
Validation Sources:The level of validation of the reference data provided by the registrant. Possible values for this field are:
- FULLY_CORROBORATED - Based on the validation procedures in use by the LOU responsible for the record, there is sufficient information contained in authoritative public sources to corroborate the information that the submitter has provided for the record.
- PARTIALLY_CORROBORATED - Based on the validation procedures in use by the LOU responsible for the record, the information supplied by the registrant can be partially corroborated by public authoritative sources, while some of the record is dependent upon the information that the registrant submitted, either due to conflicts with authoritative information, or due to data unavailability.
- ENTITY_SUPPLIED_ONLY - Based on the validation procedures in use by the LOU responsible for the record, the information associated with this record has significant reliance on the information that a submitter provided due to the unavailability of corroborating information.
- PENDING - The validation of the reference data provided by the registrant has not yet occurred.
Registration Authority ID/Registration Authority Entity ID:The registration authority ID field includes the name of a registration authority ID when it is available and legally permissible. The value "RA888888 : Other" should be selected when a temporary value is needed, assuming a Registration Authority code has been requested. The value "RA999999 : No Registration Authority Available" should be chosen when no registration authority is available for this legal entity.
The registration authority ID number field includes an entity's identifier in a given registration authority ID where available and legally permissible. This field is enabled when a registration authority ID is selected.
