LEI and EUID checks (VR_)
With the LEI and EUID checks, the EBA confirms that the identification codes in your register really exist. It checks an LEI against the GLEIF database and an EUID against BRIS, the European system that interconnects business registers (EBA (opens in a new tab)). It is the last step of the validation (EBA explainer (opens in a new tab)).
Which fields the EBA checks
| Check | Field | Against |
|---|---|---|
| VR_2 | B_01.01, field 0010: LEI of the entity maintaining the register | GLEIF |
| VR_12 | B_01.02, field 0010: LEI of the entity | GLEIF |
| VR_16 | B_01.02, field 0030: country of the entity | GLEIF |
| VR_23 | B_01.02, field 0060: LEI of the direct parent undertaking | GLEIF |
| VR_71 and VR_72 | B_05.01, field 0010: ICT third-party service provider code, when its type is LEI or EUID | GLEIF or BRIS |
| VR_77 and VR_78 | B_05.01, field 0030: additional identification code of the provider, when the type in field 0040 is LEI or EUID | GLEIF or BRIS |
If the field is empty, the EBA doesn't run the check (EBA (opens in a new tab)).
What a finding means
In the EBA's sample responses, LEI findings arrive as VALIDATION_RESULTS, not as a rejection (EBA (opens in a new tab)). The package has been received; the finding points to a data-quality issue.
- LEI not found or lapsed: look the LEI up in GLEIF and use the correct one.
- Provider without an LEI or EUID: enter another available identification number, not a dummy code and not an empty field. The AFM treats that as a data-quality issue but does not reject the register for it (AFM Q&A (opens in a new tab), AFM (opens in a new tab)).
The EBA's sample responses also cite VR_21, VR_85, VR_87 and VR_99. Those are not in the published catalogue, so we can't explain what they check.
Does DORA Convert catch these checks?
For LEIs largely; for EUIDs only the format.
| Check | What we do |
|---|---|
| LEI (VR_2, VR_12, VR_23, VR_71, VR_77) | We always check the format. With the GLEIF check on, we look every LEI up at GLEIF. |
| Country (VR_16) | With the GLEIF check on, we compare the country with GLEIF. |
| EUID (VR_72, VR_78) | We check the format only. BRIS offers no public lookup service, so we can't confirm beforehand that an EUID exists. |
Below is every LEI and EUID check with its official description.
