# Debtor Registry Registration & Restriction Management

> Source: legal.ge, https://legal.ge/en/service/enforcement-services-en/debtor-registry-registration-and-restriction-management-en-3049

## Introduction and Service Overview

In the modern enforcement system, the Debtor Registry is one of the most effective and powerful instruments for ensuring forced enforcement. The Debtor Registry is a public, electronic database of physical and legal entities that have an unfulfilled financial obligation and against whom enforcement proceedings have been initiated. Being entered into the registry means severe economic and legal restrictions for an individual, aimed at compelling them to pay their debt in a timely manner. Debtor Registry registration and restriction management is a service carried out by the National Bureau of Enforcement. This service covers both the automatic entry of a person into the registry upon the commencement of proceedings, and the subsequent legal management of these restrictions—such as temporarily lifting restrictions in certain exceptional cases or removing the person from the registry after the debt is fully paid.

The presence of a record in the Debtor Registry directly affects a person's credit history, business reputation, and ability to dispose of property. Banks, notaries, the Public Registry, and the Service Agency of the Ministry of Internal Affairs constantly check this database. Consequently, being in the registry fully paralyzes the debtor's economic activity. Properly managing these restrictions and securing release from them through legal means is of paramount importance for any natural or legal person.

### Can I sell my property if I am in the Debtor Registry?

Generally, no. Registration blocks all property alienation. However, you can request special permission from the execution officer if the proceeds of the sale will go directly to paying off the debt.

### How long does the record stay in the registry after payment?

Once the principal debt and enforcement fees are paid in full, the execution officer closes the case, and your name is removed from the public Debtor Registry immediately. It does not remain there as a permanent historical record.

### Does being in the registry freeze my bank accounts?

The registry itself is a database restricting property disposal. However, bank accounts are usually frozen simultaneously via a separate electronic seizure order sent by the execution officer to the banks.

### How can a debtor secure release from the register and removal of restrictions?

For the debtor side this is a dedicated service — "Release from the Debtors' Register and Removal of Restrictions" — covering entry audit, grounds for release, deregistration and lifting of restrictions, including travel-ban issues. See this service under enforcement services.
