The identifier given to the legal entity by the authority with which it is registered.
The legal status of a business is conferred on it by an authority within a given jurisdiction. The Legal Identifier is therefore a fundamental relationship between a legal entity and the authority with which it is registered. The details of the registration are provided as attributes of the Identifier data type. There is no restriction on the type of legal identifier. In many countries the business register's identifier is the relevant data point. The tax number often fulfils this function in Spain. A legal entity shall have a unique legal identifier and a legal identifier shall define only one legal entity. A legal entity can only have that status if it is given by a suitable authority.
