How to challenge LEI record reference data

When you find LEI data registered on a Legal Entity is not correct you have the option to challenge the data.

If you have access to the LOU that manages your organisations LEI, then you can update the data yourself.

Unilei customers can click here to login to change LEI data for the Legal Entity they represent.

If you find wrong or outdated information in the LEI data of other legal entities you can challenge LEI data by filling out a LEI Challenge.

A LEI Challenge starts a process where the relevant LEI issuer is notified, checks the LEI data and verify with the Legal Entity if the new data from the challenge is correct.
