• Written power of attorney of the lessor authorizing the lessee to submit an application for the registration of a financial leasing agreement, amendments or changes to data or the termination of a financial leasing agreement, if such a power of attorney is not contained inherent in the text of the agreement itself
• Proof of payment of the registration fee prescribed (payment slip or other evidence of payment in accordance with the By-law on Fees Rendered by the Business Registers Agency within the Financial Leasing Register; the fee is paid to the account of the Business Registers Agency no. 840-969627-83, model 97, reference number 92 02).

NOTE: The procedure for the registration in the Financial Leasing Register and the contents of the registration are set forth in the Law on Financial Leasing (“Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia”, no. 55/03 and 61/05), and the provisions of the Law on General Administrative Procedure shall also be applied as needed ("Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia", no. 33/97, 31/01). The amount of the fee for entry and deletion of data from the Financial Leasing Register is prescribed by the By-law on the Fees for Services Rendered by the Business Registers Agency within the framework of the Financial Leasing Register ("Official Gazette of the Republic of Serbia", no. 111/05). The text of the Law on Financial Leasing is available on the website of the Agency.

Within its Financial Leasing Register, the Business Registers Agency provides the option of electronic filing (“XML”) to applicants wishing to register financial leasing agreements.

The exchange and communication of data via the “XML” scheme, which we supply at request, provides for simultaneous submission of a large number of applications as well as for minimizing the amount of time required to process the data and decide on the application.

You can search the database of the Financial Leasing Register using four basic search strings, which are:
 

• The lessee
• The number under which the Financial Leasing Agreement is filed by the lessor
• The financial leasing object
• The number under which the Financial Leasing Agreement is filed in the Financial Leasing Register (FL no.).

Search by Lessee

If the database is searched by lessee, the search strings differ depending on whether the lessee is a natural or legal, foreign or domestic entity.

• For a domestic natural entity, enter the first name and family name and/or personal identity code
• For a foreign natural entity, enter the first name and family name and/or passport number
• For a domestic legal entity enter the business name and/or registration code
• For a foreign legal entity enter the business name and/or the designation under which it is filed in the register of foreign business entities.

Search by number under which the Financial Leasing Agreement is filed with the Lessor

If this string is used to search the database, you need to enter the name of the lessor, by selecting the appropriate leasing company from the drop-down list offered and the number under which the agreement is filed with the lessor. The criteria must be entered collectively.

Search by financial leasing object

If the database is searched by financial leasing object, the search criteria depend on the type of subject.

For the financial leasing object that has a registration number, the search criteria are:

• Registration designation/number
• Chassis number (if available)
• Engine number.

The criteria can be entered individually or collectively.

For machinery, equipment or household appliances the search string is the production code.

For an art object or valuables, the search strings are:

• type/name;
• author/producer.

The search criteria must be entered collectively.

Search by FL. Number

If the database is searched by FL. Number, enter the number assigned by the Business Registers Agency (the so called FL. no.). Enter only the format xxxx/xx, without the addition –x.

NOTE: When you search the database, in addition to searching by subject of financial leasing, it is desirable that you search by lessee as well. Bear in mind that certain movable assets which are the subject of registration, are entered into the Register as part of the sum of movable things which are specified in the documentation enclosed with the application for registration (for instance the specification), and that therefore individual data on each of the movable things might not have been entered. The aforesaid documents, based on which entries were made in the database, are kept by the Business Registers Agency and all interested parties may access these data to check whether a certain movable property is the object of a financial leasing agreement.
