Quick answers about the Global vLEI application process.
What is Global vLEI?+
Global vLEI is a Qualified vLEI Issuer (QVI). We verify organizations and people, then issue vLEI credentials under GLEIF governance.
Who should be the signatory (DAR)?+

LARs are vLEI administrators for the legal entity. They handle issuance and revocation requests for role credentials.
What is the difference between OOR and ECR?+
OOR is for Official Organizational Role use cases. ECR is for Engagement Context Role use cases in specific workflows.
What is an Engagement Context Role (ECR)?+
An ECR is a vLEI credential that lets an individual prove authority to act for a legal entity in a defined business context.
- The role context is defined by the legal entity and can be workflow specific.
- It links the person, legal entity, and delegated authority in one credential.
- It can carry validity periods and status information.
- It can be revoked when responsibilities or authorization change.
What is an Official Organizational Role (OOR)?+
An OOR is a vLEI credential that proves a person holds an official organizational role with signing and decision authority for the legal entity.
- Verify contract signing authority without requiring separate corporate resolutions.
- Authenticate financial approvals from authorized officers.
- Streamline regulatory compliance and audit verification.
- Enable automated due diligence and KYC processes.
