London Stock Exchange LEI: price, renewal and transfer
London Stock Exchange LEI Limited, part of LSEG, issues LEIs through UnaVista, LSEG’s regulatory reporting platform. On 13 November 2026 it managed 48,653 active LEIs of UK entities, 51% of the country’s active LEIs.
On 14 November 2026 its website listed £65 for a new LEI and £50 for a one-year renewal, both subject to VAT. This guide sets out what LSEG publishes about its prices and renewals, and what applies when an LEI moves from LSEG to another issuer.
What LSEG charges
| New LEI, one year | £65 |
|---|---|
| Renewal, one year | £50 |
| New LEI, 3 years | £160 |
| Renewal, 3 years | £145 |

Prices exclude tax. This is an independent guide: LSEG has not reviewed or endorsed it. The prices are the ones LSEG publishes on its own website, as read on 14 November 2026. Prices change: if the two differ, the issuer’s own page applies.
How LSEG renews an LEI
LSEG says it sends a renewal reminder by email 60 days, 30 days and 7 days before the renewal date, with a step-by-step guide to submitting the renewal. A renewal can be submitted up to 60 days before the renewal date.
A renewal can be paid for up to five years at once. LSEG prices the first year and each further year separately, and a further year costs less than the first; the table shows the totals for three and five years. For 100 renewals or more LSEG publishes lower prices.
LSEG also says that a request with missing information is put on hold until the details arrive, which delays the LEI, and asks applicants to check that the request is complete and the supporting documents are attached.
Moving an LEI to another issuer
To move an LEI away from LSEG, you apply to the issuer you want to move to. That issuer sends the transfer request to LSEG, and the LEI stays the same. GLEIF’s contract requirements for issuers say that no fee is charged for the transfer; the new issuer may charge its renewal price if the LEI is renewed at the same time.
