Unified Register of Debtors: what it means

The Unified Register of Debtors is a Ministry of Justice register of people with unpaid court decisions; an entry restricts property sales.

The Unified Register of Debtors is a state register kept by the Ministry of Justice. An enforcement officer enters a person or company with open enforcement proceedings and an unfulfilled decision; for child support debtors this happens when arrears exceed three monthly payments.

The register is public: you can check yourself or another person online on the Ministry of Justice website. An entry restricts the sale of property, since notaries check the register before transactions, and banks take it into account when servicing accounts and issuing loans.

The record is removed when the enforcement proceedings end, in particular after the debt is fully repaid.
