LEI Registration Status
Lifecycle state of an LEI registration.
Definition
An LEI must be re-certified at least once a year against third-party sources. Failing renewal within the allotted period, the status moves from ISSUED to LAPSED; a lapsed LEI remains technically valid but may be rejected for regulatory reporting. Other statuses exist (RETIRED, MERGED, etc.).
Origin
RegistrationStatus field defined in the GLEIF 'Level 1 Data: LEI-CDF' format; the annual renewal cadence is mandated by the LEI Regulatory Oversight Committee (ROC).
