Authority RA000488

855 legal entities cite this business registry in the RegistrationAuthorityID field of their LEI record, which is how GLEIF ties an LEI back to the national register the entity is incorporated in. 99% of them are registered at an address in Portugal, and entities in 3 different countries cite it.

The earliest LEI pointing here was registered 12 Oct 2012, the most recent 19 Oct 2026 — a span of 14 years. 73% of these LEIs are currently issued, 18% have lapsed. The most common legal form among them is Fundo (517, 60% of the total).

606 of them (71%) report at least one consolidating parent or fund relationship in GLEIF Level 2 data, and 17 (2%) have at least one ISIN-identified security mapped to the LEI. A registration authority is not the LEI issuer. The issuer is the Local Operating Unit (LOU) that validated and maintains the record, and the two are usually different organisations, often in different countries. An LEI record names both: the registry that proves the entity exists, and the LOU that vouches for the reference data.
