3 or 5 years
Pay once
Not a subscription. A 5-year plan costs HK$1,645 upfront and covers five annual confirmations — not HK$329 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).
