# My provider identifier is being rejected

## Fix rejected provider IDs by matching Legal person type, ID code, ID type, and ICT provider HQ country, and keep any additional ID fields aligned with the same rule.

#### What this usually means

The provider row is using an identifier that does not match the combination of `Legal person type`, `ID code`, `ID type`, and `ICT provider HQ country`.

For legal persons, the register expects a legal-person identifier. For legal persons established in the Union, that means **LEI** or **EUID**. For legal persons established outside the Union, that means **LEI** only. Individuals acting in a business capacity can use another identifier type.

#### Why this happens

- `Legal person type` is wrong for the provider row.
- `ID type` does not match the provider’s person type.
- The provider is a legal person outside the Union, but `ID type` is not **LEI**.
- `ID code` and `ID type` do not belong together.
- The additional ID fields do not follow the same rule as the main ID fields.

#### What to check and how to fix it

**Check `Legal person type`.**

If this provider is a legal person, **`ID code`** and `ID type` must use a legal-person identifier. If `Legal person type` is wrong, fix that first.

**Check `ICT provider HQ country`.**

If the legal person is established in the Union, use **LEI** or **EUID** in `ID type`. If the legal person is established outside the Union, use **LEI** only.

**Check `ID code` and `ID type` together.**

If **ID type** shows **CRN**, **VAT**, **PNR**, or **NIN** for a legal person, replace that pair with the correct legal-person identifier and type.

**Check whether this row is really for an individual acting in a business capacity.**

If it is, **`Legal person type`** must reflect that, and `ID type` should use one of the non-legal-person choices shown in that field, not **LEI** or **EUID**.

**Check `Additional ID code` and `Additional ID type`.**

If you use an additional identifier, those fields should follow the same legal-person or individual rule, and the same EU or non-EU rule, as the main ID fields.

#### What happens next

After you correct `Legal person type`, `ICT provider HQ country`, `ID code`, and `ID type`, validate the row again. If the rejection was caused by those fields, the row should no longer fail for the same identifier mismatch.
