If you are transacting in the global financial system, you will more than likely be required to obtain a Legal Entity Identifier (LEI).
Whether your company is based in the KY, or registered in an another offshore destination like the British Virgin Islands, you can obtain an LEI quite easily regardless of your location.
Applying for an LEI number is simple, and can be completed in a matter of minutes regardless of the entity type. Having an LEI is recommended especially if you own a company which is incorporated in the Cayman Islands due to increasing transparency regulations. Having an LEI offers increased credibility, legitimacy and trust when conducting business.
The Cayman Islands (KY) is one of the worlds most popular locations to incorporate a company. Recently new laws have been introduced in a bid to encourage transparency in the global financial ecosystem. There are already over 24,000 LEIs registered in the Cayman, with the vast majority of these being registered in response to Mifid II and other global directives mandating their use through reporting in an effort to encourage transparency, such as The US Financial Transparency Act 2019. You can use the LEI Search tool here to do a quick check similar to a Cayman Islands registry search: LEI Entity Search Cayman Islands
Having an LEI adds credibility to your organisations digital identity as the process for obtaining an LEI in Cayman Islands is rigid in relation to data quality controls. Before any LEI is issued, we conduct entity checks against the Cayman Islands company registry and the Cayman Islands Corporate Registry for the applying entity. For this the company registration number will be used. Cayman Islands business laws stipulate that certain entity information is private, therefore we rely on the entity to provide us with certain data during the LEI application such as name of authorised signatory or Director.
Obtaining a Legal Entity Identifier code is a simple process. The LEI application form only takes a few minutes and any representative of the company may apply on behalf of the entity.
Step 1: Click on the ‘Register New LEI’ button here or visit the homepage of this website. To begin, fill out your contact details as the applicant. This information will be used to contact you in case any additional information is required.
Step 3: The next section ‘Level 2 Data’ gives you the opportunity to report parent company information.
For example, if your company is a branch of a larger organisation, or is owned by another company you may have that information appear on the LEI record. However, this is not a legal obligation. If you wish to report a legal parent company, please note that you will be requested to provide evidence of this relationship by way of Consolidated Accounts (i.e an annual report).
You may only report parent information if the parent company consolidates the accounts and the subsidiary is listed there.
Step 4: The final section allows you to upload documentation relevant to your application.
When an LEI application is submitted, the data is cross matched with what is on the relevant local companies registry.
If however the company cannot be found, or the data does not match the registry, we may request that you provide supporting documentation. Some good examples include a Certificate of Incumbency, Register of Directors, or a companies registry extract which is provided to all Cayman Islands Business Companies upon incorporation.
Once the application is submitted, simply choose your preferred payment method and complete the application. LEI Worldwide use our payments provider STRIPE and PayPal. We also offer the ability to complete a bank transfer or swift payment in any currency including US Dollars.
A member of the LEI Worldwide team will review the submission upon completion and you will receive your LEI code within a few hours.
