Do I have to renew?
An LEI for a Canadian entity must be renewed every year to remain Issued. The 20 characters stay the same.
3 or 5 years
Pay once
Not a subscription. A 5-year plan costs C$295 upfront and covers five annual confirmations — not C$59 every year. See prices.
Already lapsed
Renew it
If a bank requires an Issued record, it can reassess the file once GLEIF shows the renewed status. Another agent? Transfer first (free).
