Court liens and enforcement records in Georgia are held by the National Enforcement Bureau and published at enreg.reestri.gov.ge. They document active monetary claims, asset freezes, and court judgments against individuals and companies. GE360 aggregates these records alongside registry data, searchable by company name or registration code.

A court lien (ბმული, bmuli) in Georgia is a legal encumbrance placed on assets — cash, real property, or shares — by a court or the National Enforcement Bureau following a court judgment or regulatory finding. Liens are filed when a creditor obtains a court order or when a public authority (such as the tax service) has an unpaid claim.
Common triggers for liens in Georgia include: unpaid tax obligations, unfulfilled court judgments in civil cases, enforcement of arbitration awards, creditor claims during insolvency proceedings, and regulatory penalties from financial supervisory bodies.
A lien on company assets is a significant risk indicator. It can block the company from transferring property, making certain payments, or restructuring. Before entering a large transaction with a Georgian company, reviewing lien records is an essential step.
The National Enforcement Bureau (NEA / სააღსრულებო ბიურო) maintains the official enforcement register at enreg.reestri.gov.ge. This portal publishes all active enforcement cases and the corresponding asset encumbrances.
Mortgage and pledge records (for movable and immovable property) are maintained separately by NAPR at napr.gov.ge. Mortgage records show voluntary security interests (e.g., a bank mortgage on property used as loan collateral), which are distinct from court-imposed liens.
For a comprehensive picture, a thorough due diligence requires checking both sources. GE360 aggregates both enforcement records and NAPR mortgage/pledge data into a single dossier section, reducing the manual cross-referencing effort.
To search for liens at enreg.reestri.gov.ge: navigate to the search section, enter the company's 9-digit registration code or the full Georgian name, and select the entity type (company or individual). The result will list any active enforcement cases with the case number, claimant, and amount.
On NAPR's portal, search for the company and look for the mortgage/pledge section in the company profile. This shows any voluntarily registered security interests such as bank mortgages over company assets.
On GE360, the 'Enforcement' section of any company or person dossier displays all found enforcement records and mortgages in one place. Search at /search by name or code, then open the dossier.
A Georgian enforcement record typically contains: (1) the case number and filing date; (2) the claimant (creditor) — often a tax authority, bank, or court; (3) the debtor (the company or person subject to the lien); (4) the amount claimed; and (5) the type and scope of the encumbrance (all assets, specific property, bank accounts).
Key interpretation points: Multiple liens on the same company indicate compounding financial distress. Tax liens from the Georgian Revenue Service (GRS) are a particularly serious signal, as they represent unpaid state obligations. Old liens (several years without resolution) may indicate protracted disputes or zombie companies.
The absence of liens is a positive signal but not conclusive — new liens can be filed at any time. For high-value transactions, request a fresh search on the day of signing.
In Georgian law, a mortgage (იპოთეკა, ipoteka) is a voluntary security interest registered by agreement between the debtor and a creditor (typically a bank), used to secure a loan or obligation. The debtor consents to the encumbrance. Mortgages are registered at NAPR and appear in the property and company records.
A lien (ბმული) in the enforcement context is a court-imposed or authority-imposed encumbrance — the debtor has not consented, and the lien reflects an outstanding dispute or judgment. Enforcement liens are registered by the National Enforcement Bureau.
Both can restrict a company's ability to transfer or use assets, but they signal very different risk profiles. A mortgage with a reputable bank on commercial property is normal business financing. An enforcement lien from a tax authority or a private creditor signals unresolved financial or legal problems. See the due diligence checklist for how to treat each in a risk assessment.
The National Enforcement Bureau publishes active enforcement cases and asset encumbrances at enreg.reestri.gov.ge. Mortgage and pledge records are at napr.gov.ge.
Yes. The enforcement portal at enreg.reestri.gov.ge supports searches for individuals as well as companies. GE360 person dossiers also show enforcement records associated with a natural person.
A tax lien from the Georgian Revenue Service (GRS) means the company has unpaid tax obligations that the state has moved to enforce. This is a serious red flag: it indicates the company is in arrears and the state has taken legal steps to recover the debt. The company's assets may be frozen or subject to seizure.
The National Enforcement Bureau's public portal primarily shows active cases. Historical resolved cases may not be publicly visible. GE360 shows records that were present in the aggregated data at the time of the last sync, with the data date displayed on the dossier.
A mortgage (იპოთეკა) on real estate means a creditor (usually a bank) holds a security interest in that property. The company cannot sell or transfer that property without the mortgagee's consent or without repaying the mortgage. In a business acquisition or major transaction, all mortgages on company assets must be identified and addressed.
GE360 is a research tool that aggregates from official sources. For critical transactions, always verify directly on enreg.reestri.gov.ge and napr.gov.ge on the day of the transaction, as new liens can be filed at any time.
