Find a companySearch the world's register of legal entities by name, and narrow by country, by whether the company is still trading, or by what kind of thing it is. Every result carries the company's official legal name, its registered address and its LEI, the code the other actions here work from. Paste an LEI into the name box instead and it is looked up directly, because no company name is shaped like one.
Get a company's detailsRead everything the register holds about one company: its legal name and any trading names, its registered and head office addresses, the register it is filed in and the number it is filed under, its legal form, when it was founded, and who issued its LEI. GLEIF stores the legal form and the filing register as codes, and both are looked up and returned in words as well.
Suggest company namesTurn a partial or half remembered company name into the real ones, each with its LEI where only one company answers to it. Use it to clean up a name typed into a form or pulled off an invoice before looking the company up properly. A name shared by several companies comes back without an LEI and says so.
Get a company's ownerFind out who owns a company, and since when. Ask for the immediate owner to go one step up the chain, or the ultimate owner to jump to the top of it. The answer carries the owner's full record alongside how the ownership was reported and whether anybody checked it against a public register, which is the part a compliance review actually turns on. A company with no owner on file says so plainly rather than erroring.
List a company's subsidiariesList the companies a company owns, either the ones one step below it or every company beneath it however deep the tree goes. Each comes back as a full record with its own LEI, so a group can be walked, counted by country, or checked for lapsed registrations in a single run. A company that owns nothing on file returns an empty list rather than an error.
List a company's securitiesList the ISINs issued against a company's LEI, which is to say the bonds, notes and other instruments the market can trade under its name. Useful for tying a holding in a portfolio back to the legal entity that actually issued it. A company that has issued nothing returns an empty list rather than an error.
Find a company by another codeStart from a code that is not an LEI and find the company behind it. A BIC off a payment instruction, an ISIN off a holding, the MIC of an exchange, an OpenCorporates identifier or an S&P Global one all resolve to the same register, which is how a reference in one system is tied to a company in another.
Check an LEIAnswer in one step whether an LEI can be relied on today: whether it is a real code at all, who holds it, whether the registration is up to date, and how long until it has to be renewed. A mistyped code is caught before a request is even sent, because the last two characters of an LEI are a checksum over the other eighteen, so a transposed pair is reported as the typo it is rather than as a company that does not exist.
List what changed about a companySee what has changed about a company and when, newest first: a new legal name, a moved head office, a renewed registration, a change of owner. Each entry says what the value was and what it became. GLEIF names the field as a path into its XML schema, which is unreadable, so each one is translated into the part of the record it belongs to and the field in plain words. Set a date to see only what changed since then.
List LEI issuersList every organisation accredited to issue an LEI, with the website each one takes applications and renewals through. This is where somebody goes who needs an LEI of their own, or who has found a lapsed one and needs to know who to renew it with. There are about forty worldwide and the whole directory comes back in one request.
