This section contains information about the fees associated with the Registers of Moveable Transactions.
References in this section to the “2023 Act” refer to the Moveable Transactions (Scotland) Act 2023.
The fees referred to in this section are provided for in The Registers of Scotland (Fees) Order 2014 (as amended by The Registers of Scotland (Voluntary Registration, Amendment of Fees etc.) Order 2015, The Registers of Scotland (Fees) Amendment Order 2021, and The Registers of Scotland (Fees and Plain Copies) Miscellaneous Amendments Order 2024).
RoA Registration Fees
- For the registration of each assignation document, the fee is £30.
For the avoidance of doubt, the registration fee applicable to an assignation document is per document, not per claim assigned in that document.
Unless an assignation document assigns different claims to different assignees, there is no requirement to register that document more than once.
However, where an assignation document does assign different claims to different assignees, the registration fee is £30 for each different assignee who applies for registration, irrespective of how many claims are assigned to each different assignee.
By way of illustration, where an assignation document assigns different claims to two different assignees, a maximum of two registration fees will be required. And, where an assignation document assigns different claims to three different assignees, a maximum of three registration fees will be required. And so on.
Where an assignation document assigns different claims to different assignees, section 24 of the 2023 Act provides that an individual assignee may only register that document in so far as it relates to the claim assigned to them.
RSP Registration Fees
- For the registration of a statutory pledge constitutive document, the fee is £30.
However, where a statutory pledge constitutive document creates more than one statutory pledge, the fee is £5 for each additional statutory pledge for which registration is applied.
By way of illustration, where a statutory pledge constitutive document creates three statutory pledges, each over an individual asset/group of assets, and separate registration is required for each statutory pledge, the registration fee will be £30 for the first statutory pledge and £5 for each additional statutory pledge – with £40 being payable in total.
- For the registration of a statutory pledge amendment document which adds additional encumbered property or increases the extent of the secured obligation in a registered statutory pledge(s), the fee is £30 for each Statutory Pledges Record entry amended.

There is no charge for the Keeper’s correction of any manifest inaccuracy in the RoA.
There is also no charge for the Keeper’s correction of an inaccuracy in the RSP as a result of either a court order or on becoming aware of an inaccuracy under section 100(2) of the 2023 Act (a “manifest inaccuracy” correction).
A fee of £10 is payable, however, for each RSP record entry corrected as a result of an application from a secured creditor to correct the register, under section 96(1) of the 2023 Act, using the Keeper’s online registration system.
A fee of £10 is also payable, again for each RSP record entry corrected, as a result of a Correction Demand Correction application made to the Keeper under section 86(6) of the 2023 Act.
