Official LEI Registration Singapore
Legal Entity Identifier Application
Is an LEI mandatory for Singapore companies?
Yes, an LEI is mandatory for Singapore entities regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) if they trade in Over-the-Counter (OTC) derivatives. Furthermore, any Singapore company engaging in financial transactions with counterparties in the EU, US, or UK will likely be required to present an LEI to comply with international reporting standards.
Can I use my ACRA UEN number instead of an LEI?
No. Your Unique Entity Number (UEN) is a local identifier used strictly for Singapore government interactions. The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is a global code (ISO 17442 standard) that allows your company to be identified internationally by foreign banks and global regulators.
How long does the registration process take?
For Singapore-registered entities, the process is efficient. Since LEI issuers can verify your data directly against the ACRA registry, the LEI is typically issued promptly once the application and payment are verified.
How is the cost determined?
The cost varies based on the registration agent and the length of the subscription plan you select. The fee includes the administrative cost of validating your company data with ACRA and maintaining your record in the global GLEIF database.
What happens if I do not renew my LEI?
An LEI is valid only for a fixed subscription period. If you do not pay the renewal fee before the term ends, your LEI status will change from “Issued” to “Lapsed”. While a lapsed LEI remains searchable, many banks and financial institutions may block trades or delay transactions until the LEI is renewed and active again.
