Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF)

Enabling global identity. Protecting digital trust.

The guardian of Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) and verifiable LEIs (vLEIs).

GLEIF regulates a genuinely universal identification standard – a unique 20-character code created for a legal entity. There's no other like it. The LEI is a single code that represents a single organization so that anyone, anywhere in the world, can trust an organization is who it claims to be.

Building on the success of the LEI, the verifiable LEI (vLEI) adds an extra layer of trust, enabling digital credentials that can be verified instantly and securely. The vLEI represents a step forward in digital identity, ensuring that organizations can confidently participate in the digital economy with the highest standards of authenticity and integrity.

We are the official guardian of the records and underlying network to enable responsible interactions between legal entities worldwide.
