If your LEI needs renewing you can transfer and renew your LEI at the same time. You will only need to pay the renewal fee.

Since 3 January 2018, LEIs have been used to report the securities transactions of investment service providers to supervisory authorities to identify customers that are legal entities. These transaction reports identify and investigate market abuse and monitor transactions and investment service providers' activities in securities markets. The format of the report is established by an implementing regulation of the European Commission.
Banks ask for an LEI code to enhance transparency, improve risk management, comply with regulatory requirements, and ensure accurate financial reporting.
Investment service providers mandate that their legal entity clients possess a valid LEI code to meet their reporting requirements. Before carrying out any securities transactions, they confirm the validity of the LEI. If you lack an LEI, registration is necessary. Renewal becomes essential if your LEI expires (enter a lapsed status).
Customers who fail to provide an LEI will encounter difficulties engaging in securities transactions through the investment service provider.
The umbrella association's website, www.gleif.org, provides information about the validity of all LEI codes and related information. You can also check the validity of your LEI code here.
