GLEIF Golden Copy and Delta Files

The GLEIF Golden Copy Files, in addition to the GLEIF Concatenated Files, provide a distinct means to access, and explore the information included within, the Global LEI Index.

The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) issues three sets of Golden Copy Files daily. With each updated version of the Golden Copy Files, GLEIF also makes available four delta files.

The delta files identify only newly issued Legal Entity Identifiers (LEIs) and / or revisions to an LEI’s reference data historically reported in a Golden Copy File published either:

  • Eight hours earlier.

  • 24 hours earlier.

  • Seven days earlier.

  • One month (31 days) earlier.

The GLEIF Golden Copy Files and delta files ensure easy access to the latest information on new and updated LEIs

The Golden Copy Files, together with the delta files, are of particular interest to LEI data users who seek to obtain frequently updated (three times daily) information on LEIs and related reference data in a ready-to-use format that ensures:

  • Data does not contain technical duplicates.

  • All LEIs ever published in a GLEIF Golden Copy File version, as well as all new LEIs published by the LEI issuers since the previous release of a Golden Copy File, are included in the file.

  • Enriched reference data provides deeper insight into the global market place.

The delta files allow data users to quickly identify new or updated LEIs and reference data without the need to download the files containing the complete LEI population.

Difference between the GLEIF Concatenated Files and the GLEIF Golden Copy Files

  • New LEIs are added.

  • Revisions to reference data for a specific LEI are updated.

  • The sending LEI issuer sets the registration status to PENDING_ARCHIVAL.

  • The receiving LEI issuer then publishes the LEI record to be transferred with the correct registration status (e.g. ISSUED).

  • In a next step, the sending LEI issuer removes the LEI record from its publication.
