Description Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept.	A Legal Entity Identifier (or LEI) is a 20-character identifier that identifies distinct legal entities that engage in financial transactions. It is defined by ISO 17442. Natural persons are not required to have an LEI; they’re eligible to have one issued, however, but only if they act in an independent business capacity. The LEI is a global standard, designed to be non-proprietary data that is freely accessible to all. As of October 2017, over 630,000 legal entities from more than 195 countries have now been issued with LEIs.

Identifier format invalid (Legal Entity Identifier (World))	The technical specification for LEI is ISO 17442. An LEI consists of a 20-character alphanumeric string, with the first 4 characters identifying the Local Operating Unit (LOU) that issued the LEI. Characters 5 and 6 are reserved as '00'. Characters 7-18 are the unique alphanumeric string assigned to the organisation by the LOU. The final 2 characters are checksum digits.	RELEASED	ERROR
Identifier unknown (Legal Entity Identifier)	This business rule checks the validity of the LEI number against the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation Database. The LEI number will be judged valid by this rule if it is available in the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation.	DRAFT	ERROR
