Wolters Kluwer’s Global Market Entity Identifier (GMEI) service (delivered via CT Corporation, a Wolters Kluwer business) provides managed services to assist organizations in obtaining, renewing, and updating entity identifiers used in regulatory reporting for financial markets. The offering is presented as an outsourced compliance operations service rather than a self-serve identifier issuance portal. The vendor describes support for obtaining a new GMEI, managing annual renewals, and making required updates when business details change.
CT Corporation also markets a related Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) Managed Services offering, covering registration, data validation (including GMEIs where referenced), annual recertification, and updates (e.g., name/address/merger changes). In practice, the product functions as a full lifecycle identifier compliance service for firms with large numbers of entities, funds, or counterparties that do not manage recertifications internally.
Important market context / terminology risk: “GMEI” historically referred to the DTCC Global Markets Entity Identifier utility, which exited LEI issuance and ceased operations in 2023. CT Corporation’s marketing uses “GMEI” as an identifier requirement under Dodd-Frank/OTC derivatives. Procurement and compliance teams should confirm whether CT is referring to (a) LEIs broadly, (b) legacy “GMEI” terminology still used in some workflows, or (c) a specific issuing/registration pathway.
