About the registers

The Moveable Transactions (Scotland) Act 2023 has modernised the law in Scotland in relation to transferring claims and taking security over moveable property through the creation of two new RoS registers.

The Register of Assignations (RoA) and the Register of Statutory Pledges (RSP) were launched on 1 April 2025.

RoA allows claims to payment to legally transfer in Scotland through registration of an assignation in that register.

RSP allows a fixed security over physical moveable property, intellectual property, or financial instruments to be created without first giving up ownership or possession by registering a statutory pledge in that register.
