Do I have to renew?
An LEI for a New Zealand 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 NZ$375 upfront and covers five annual confirmations — not NZ$75 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).

What is an LEI?

Who needs one in New Zealand?
New Zealand entities may be asked for an LEI for derivatives, securities, fund operations, treasury or cross-border onboarding.
Why you need it
A company number or NZBN identifies an organisation locally; an LEI provides a shared identity for international financial transactions.
Do I have to renew?
