As of 07 May 2009, you can search the Register of Pledges by stake as property that was subject to a pledge.
To use this feature you need to enter either the registration number or the business name of the business entity the stake in which was pledged.
When doing a search, you need to check the data contained in the list of pledges available on the webpage through which you access the search of pledges.
You can search the database of the Register of Pledges using three basic search strings, which are:
- Parties to a pledge (pledger or pledgee)
- Object of the pledge
- Submission number in the Register of Pledges (ZL.no.).
NOTE: When searching by “Parties to a Pledge”, if the party is a natural person owning a sole proprietorship, a twofold search must be performed: by natural person search criteria and by company search criteria (entrepreneur/sole trader).
Search by Parties to a Pledge
If the database is searched by pledger or pledge, the search strings vary depending on whether these are natural or legal, foreign or domestic entities
- For a domestic natural entity, enter the first name and family name and/or 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 Object of the Pledge
If the database is searched by object of the pledge, the search strings depend on the type of object.
For objects of a pledge that have a registration number, the search strings are:
- registration designation/number
- mark
- type/model
- chassis number (if any)
- engine number.
The strings can be entered individually or collectively.
For machinery, equipment or household appliances the search strings are:
- mark
- type/model
- the production code.
The strings can be entered individually or collectively.
For an art object or valuables, the strings are:
- type/name
- author/producer.
The strings can be entered individually or collectively.
If the object of a pledge are intellectual property rights, the search strings are:
- registration number
- name of the authority with which the rights are registered
- registration application number.
The strings can be entered individually or collectively.
Search by ZL. Number
If the database is searched by ZL. Number, enter the number assigned by the Business Registers Agency (the so called ZL. no.). Enter only the format хххх/хх, without the addition of –х.
NOTICE: When doing a search, besides searching by the object of pledge, it is recommended that you do a search also by the pledger. You may want to take into account that some movable property was entered into the Register as part of a collection of movable property, which was described in detail in the documents filed along with the application for registration of pledge (record of inventory and assessment, specification etc.). Therefore, the details on each individual movable asset may not have been entered in the database. The Business Registers Agency keeps the documentation on the basis of which the entry into the Register was made and any interested party may review the documents and verify whether a specific movable property was made subject to a pledge.
