The ISO 17442 standard specifies the minimum reference data, which must the format of the organization identifiers, be Supplied for each LEI: * The official name of the legal entity as recorded in the official registers. * The registered address of that legal entity. * The country of formation. * The codes for the representation of names of countries and their subdivisions. * The date of the first LEI assignment; the date of last update of the * LEI information; and the date of expiry, if applicable. Additional information may be registered as agreed between the legal entity and its LEI issuing organization. The number allocation scheme was further specified in Annex 2 of the Financial Stability Board's third progress note on the Global LEI Initiative on 24 October 2012: • Characters 1 -4: A four character prefix allocated uniquely to each LEI issuer. • Characters 5-6: Two reserved characters set to zero. • Characters 7-18: Entity-specific part of the code generated and assigned by LOUs according to transparent, sound and robust allocation policies. • Characters 19-20: Two check digits as described in the ISO 17442 standards. The check digit scheme follows ISO/IEC 7064 (MOD 97-10) and contributes to avoiding typing errors. See http://www.fsb.org/wp-contenVuploads/r_121024.pdf?page_moved=1 1:) 1. a) Character representations: • n: digits (numeric characters 0 to 9 only); • a: uppercase letters (alpha character, A-Z only, without "special" characters such as blanks, separators or punctuation). 2. b) Length indications: • nn!: fixed length; • nn: maximum length. The format of the LEI shall be -18!an2!n. The LEI consists of 20 characters decomposed as follows: characters (18!an) without separators or "special" characters; the 19th and 20th characters (2!n) shall be the check digit or digits, as calculated from the scheme defined in this International Standard. 2:) The check digits shall be calculated based on the scheme defined in ISO/IEC 7064 (MOD 97-10). See Annex A. The check digits are used to verify the LEI. 1. Convert letters to digits in accordance with the following: A=10B=11 C=12D=13E=14 F=15G=16H=17I=18J=19 K=20 L = 21 M =22 N =23 0 =24 P =25Q = 26 R = 27 S = 28 T = 29 U = 30 V = 31 W = 32 X = 33 Y = 34 Z = 35 2. Apply the check character system, MOD 97-10, in accordance with ISO/IEC 7064. 3. If the remainder is 1 (one), the number is valid. Generating the check digits 4. Add "00" to the right-hand end of the LEI. 5. Convert alpha characters into numeric characters in accordance with letters in #1. 6. Apply the check character system, MOD 97-10, in accordance with ISO/IEC 7064.

FAQ

Which Peppol identifier scheme should I use in Switzerland?
Prefer an active national scheme listed below (e.g. CH:UIDB / ICD 0183) when your organisation has that official identifier. Otherwise use an international scheme such as GLN (0088) or DUNS (0060) if your Access Point supports it.
What do I enter as the Peppol Participant ID?
Use either the short form ICD:value (e.g. 0183:CHE123456789) or the full form iso6523-actorid-upis::ICD:value. In registration UIs, select the scheme (ICD), then enter only the local value — not the scheme code again unless the scheme rules say otherwise.
Where do I get my company identifier?
Use the official Switzerland registers linked on this page (business / tax / UID registers). For GLN, contact your national GS1 office. You can then look up or register the Peppol ID via tapr.ch.

Source: OpenPeppol Electronic Address / Participant identifier schemes code list v9.7. Only state=active entries are shown.

Where to get your codes

Look up the official national identifier first, then register it as a Peppol Participant ID with your Access Point (e.g. tapr.ch).
