What documents are needed to register an LEI
There are primarily 3 types of documents required at various stages of LEI applications.
Corroborating document:
A corroborating document verifies the details of the legal entity applying for the LEI. This includes:
Entity name
Legal address
Date of Incorporation
Must be from an official source i.e a registry
Examples: Certificate of incorporation, certificate of incumbency, registry certificate, prospectus (for a fund), deed (for a trus) or equivalent to the above.
Evidence of Authority (EoA):
An LEI application required the name of the authorised signatory to be provided. This is someone with authorisation to represent the organisation such as a director, or executive.
A document confirming this information is an evidence of authority.
Examples include a register of directors, shareholders certificate, website listing, contract or equivalent to the above.
Letter of Authorisation (LoA):
An LoA is a letter which provides your Registration Agent with the authority to apply for LEIs on your behalf. This must be signed by an authorised signatory and be accompanied by an EoA.
A LoA is typically requested during an LEI transfer.
