Personal Property

Access Now

Welcome to the Personal Property Security Registration (PPSR) system. Through this site, you will be able to register a notice of security interest or lien on personal property (e.g. cars, boats, furniture) that was used as collateral to obtain a loan or that was repaired or stored. Also, you will be able to make enquiries to find out if a notice of security interest or lien was filed in the PPSR system.

Minimum browser requirements: Internet Explorer 5.5 or Netscape 4.7+ capable of supporting 128-bit encryption.

Please be advised that any usage of the PPSR Access Now Enquiry and Registration system other than screen-by-screen, results in bypassing critical validation and edit functions. This may cause incorrect results. The Ministry is not liable for any incorrect results obtained under these conditions.
