How to Transfer an LEI to TNV-LEI
If a U.S. legal entity already has an LEI managed by another provider, do not apply for a new code. Search the existing LEI, submit a transfer request and confirm that you are authorized to act for the entity. After completion, TNV-LEI becomes the managing issuer while the existing LEI code remains unchanged.
What Happens During an LEI Transfer?
During the transfer process, the public LEI record may show Pending Transfer status. This indicates that management of the record is moving between LEI issuers. The LEI code remains the same. Check the requirements of the relevant bank, counterparty or reporting system when the transfer occurs close to an important deadline.
