About
The Register of Assignations (RoA) allows claims, typically for payment, to legally transfer in Scotland through registration of an assignation in the RoA.
This registration alternative to intimation was introduced by the Moveable Transactions (Scotland) Act 2023.

There are two ways to pay for transactions on the Register of Assignation.
You can pay by:
- Direct Debit
- card
If you have a FAS account with RoS, you can set up a Direct Debit. This will be a different Direct Debit than the one you use to pay for ScotLIS.
If you pay by card, you’ll receive a receipt.
We have changed our invoicing method, and we now use the Gov.uk Notify service to deliver customer invoices .

A manifest inaccuracy is where it is obvious that there is an error in the registration record that results in that record being misleading.
An application should be made where it is clear there is a manifest inaccuracy.
Once an application is made this will be assessed to determine whether the correction will be applied.
