## How Registration Proceedings Begin and What Documents Are Needed

Registration of ownership takes place within the proceedings defined by the Law on the Public Registry, and the foundation of this page consists of Articles 8, 9, 11, 12 and 15. Article 8 provides that registration proceedings start on an application or a decision of an authorised body. The application must be accompanied by the registration documentation and information defined by the instruction — not a formality: the completeness of the documentation decides the fate of the proceedings.

In a specific case the registering body may additionally request any document or information connected with the proceedings and necessary for deciding the question raised. An applicant should therefore have every document needed for review ready from the outset — this saves time otherwise lost.

### How do registration proceedings start?

By application or a decision of an authorised body, accompanied by the documentation defined by the instruction.

### What does advance registration give?

It blocks the registration of other rights over the item and is lifted by registration of the main right, by agreement or by expiry of the term.

### Which rights are registered?

Ownership and the rights connected with it — mortgage, servitude, usufruct, lease, tenancy, leasing, demand and others.

### What is needed for a building?

A document confirming the right and construction documentation; for a completed building — the document confirming fitness for use.
