Acts referring to notarial central registers
Notarial central registers are public electronic records maintained by the Chamber of Notaries.
The data recorded in the notarial central registers become effective on the day, on which they are recorded, except for the register of rights of lien. If a person in good faith trusts any record in the notarial central register, the person, to whom such record refers, cannot object that such record does not corresponds to reality:
- Notarial central register of rights of lien – Registration of rights of lien to movable property, changes of data about rights of lien, commencement of exercising rights of lien and cancellation of rights of lien according to provisions of the Civil Code. Except for the exceptions specified by the law, the right of lien to a movable property can only be established by means of registration in the register of rights of lien.
