In practice, there is a growing need to obtain an extract from the Pledge Register of Bosnia and Herzegovina, especially when it is necessary to confirm that a certain movable asset—such as a vehicle, equipment, or other property—is not encumbered by an active pledge.
However, access to the Pledge Register is available exclusively through an online system, and only for subscribers, which poses a significant obstacle for both individuals and companies—especially in urgent situations.
The most common situations when an extract is required:
- Vehicle purchase – to verify that the car is not under pledge,
- Company background checks – to ensure that a business entity has no active liens,
- Proceedings before the Tax Administration of FBiH or other institutions requesting confirmation that movable property is unencumbered,
- Inheritance and bankruptcy procedures – to establish asset status,
- Loan applications and financial due diligence.
