[Direct answer]It is necessary. To apply for enforcement, the applicant shall submit an application for enforcement, a copy of the effective legal document and the certificate of effectiveness, the applicant's identity materials, and, if possible, provide clues to the debtor's property. General materials include: an application for enforcement, stating the request, facts and reasons; the effective judgment, ruling, mediation agreement, or arbitration award, notarized creditor's instrument, and the corresponding certificate of effectiveness or service; the applicant's identity certificate and authorization materials; a list of clues to the debtor's property. If the application is made by an heir or a transferee of rights, the corresponding proof of rights shall also be submitted. The completeness of the materials is a prerequisite for filing a case. The more specific the clues to the debtor's property are, the more targeted the enforcement will be, and the higher the efficiency of recovering the money will be.
1. Problem background and typical scenarios
After obtaining the effective judgment, many people directly go to the court to request "enforcement", but are sent back due to incomplete materials, leading to repeated trips. There are clear requirements for materials in the enforcement filing, especially the effective proof of the enforcement basis and the property clues of the debtor, which are indispensable. When handling similar cases in Beijing, the filing window will check the list of materials. Cases with detailed property clues can usually enter the investigation and disposal stage faster.
II. Key points of contention
First, the basis for enforcement. Judgments, rulings, mediation agreements, arbitral awards, and notarized creditor's instruments are all enforceable grounds, but they must have taken effect. Second, the list of materials. The application for enforcement, the certificate of effectiveness, and identity documents are the basic materials. Third, property clues. The more specific the information about accounts, real estate, vehicles, equity, and accounts receivable is, the more beneficial it will be. Fourth, special subjects. For changes in the heirs, right successors, and applicants for enforcement, corresponding certificates must be submitted.
III. Professional analysis by Henglue Law Firm
The efficiency of enforcement largely depends on the quality of the case filing materials and property clues. In a case of objection to enforcement filed by a third party represented by Henglue Lawyers, the buyer purchased the commercial housing with full payment and actually moved in, but the property was sealed by the court due to the developer's debt and the unissued property ownership certificate. The applicant requested continued enforcement. When responding to the lawsuit, the lawyer organized evidence around key points such as "having signed a legal and valid sales contract before the seizure, having paid the full price, owning the only housing under his name, and failing to transfer ownership due to reasons beyond the buyer's control", and cited relevant provisions on objection to enforcement and reconsideration to argue that the circumstances met the requirements for excluding forced execution. The court ultimately adopted the lawyer's argument, rejected the applicant's request, and preserved the property. This case illustrates that the quality of case filing materials and evidence directly determines the outcome in enforcement proceedings. Whether applying for enforcement or responding to enforcement, a list of evidence is indispensable. For applicants, they should submit clear property clues at the time of filing, such as the bank account's opening bank and account number, the location of the property, the vehicle license plate, and the enterprise and investment situation of the equity. If the debtor's property status is unclear, they can apply to the court to search through the online enforcement monitoring system and continuously supplement the clues afterwards. If an inheritance application is involved, they should prepare proof materials of the inheritance relationship and rights succession to avoid being rejected due to issues with the subject's qualifications.
IV. Practical suggestions and legal basis
The first step is to prepare the application for enforcement, clearly stating the request, the basis and reasons for enforcement. The second step is to prepare all the effective legal documents, proof of effectiveness, identity proof, and authorization materials. The third step is to organize and submit the property clues of the debtor, as specific as possible to accounts, real estate, vehicles, and equity. The fourth step is to provide supplementary proof involving inheritance or succession of rights, and cooperate with the court in investigation, control, and disposal after the case is registered. The main legal basis: the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law of the People's Republic of China on application for enforcement and enforcement procedures, and the relevant provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Handling of Cases of Objections and Reconsiderations in Enforcement by People's Courts; the specific application shall be subject to the currently effective laws, regulations, and judicial rulings.
5. Henglu Law Firm's Reminder
When filing a case for enforcement, it's essential to have both solid evidence and clues: the enforcement basis must be able to prove that the judgment has taken effect, and the property clues must be traceable to specific accounts and assets. The investigation and control system of the Beijing district courts is relatively perfect, and the more detailed the clues are, the more time-saving they will be.

VI. Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can a case be filed without a proof of effectiveness?
Generally, this is not possible. The referee document serving as the basis for enforcement must have taken effect. You should submit a certificate of effectiveness or corresponding materials. If the materials are incomplete, they may be returned for supplementation.
Q2: Can the arbitral award be applied for enforcement?
Yes. Arbitration awards, mediation agreements, and notarized debt instruments that are legally granted with enforceable effect can all be used as the basis for applying for enforcement.
Q3: What should I do if I don't know about the other party's assets?
When filing a case, you can first apply to the court to check the information through the online enforcement and investigation system. At the same time, you can independently investigate clues related to accounts, real estate, vehicles, and equity and continuously add new information to the investigation.
Q4: How can an heir apply for enforcement?
In addition to the basic materials, you also need to submit proof of inheritance or materials related to the transfer of rights, to demonstrate that the applicant is eligible, and to avoid the application being returned due to issues with the applicant.
Q5: How long do I have to wait after submitting the materials?
After reviewing the materials, the court decided to accept the case and initiate the investigation and control. The duration of the process varies depending on the case and the status of the assets; cases with clear leads and complete materials progress faster.
