Official LEI Registration Ireland
Legal Entity Identifier Application
What is an LEI and do I need one in Ireland?
A Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a 20-character code used to identify businesses in financial transactions. Your Irish company needs one if it trades securities (like stocks or bonds) or falls under EU financial regulations like MiFID II
How do I apply for an LEI?
You can apply online in minutes through an accredited Registration Agent. You just need to provide basic company details (like your CRO number) and ownership structure. Most LEIs are issued within hours.
How much does it cost and how long is it valid?
An LEI is valid for 12 months and must be renewed annually. Prices vary by provider but usually range from €60 to €90 for a single year. Multi-year plans are often available at a discount.
What happens if my LEI expires?
If your LEI lapses, banks and investment firms will block your entity from trading securities, and you will be unable to fulfill your legal reporting requirements until the LEI is renewed.
