EMIR Reporting and LEI in United Kingdom In the United Kingdom, UK EMIR requires both counterparties to a derivative to report it with a valid LEI to an FCA-registered trade repository. Under the validation rules from 30 September 2024, the LEI status must be Issued, Pending Transfer or Pending Archival.
UK EMIR is the onshored UK derivatives reporting regime, supervised by the FCA. Both counterparties report the same trade, each identified by its LEI.
Certain reporting fields require the LEI status to be Issued, Pending Transfer, or Pending Archival; some action types may still accept a lapsed LEI depending on counterparty role.
Any UK entity that is a counterparty to a derivative, plus their report-submitting agents.
Keep your LEI current; TNV-LEI's reminders prevent the lapse that causes most rejections.
