Important Notice - ASIC verification

The Australian Securities & Investments Commission (ASIC) has a planned outage on Thursday 16 July from 7:15 pm to 8:15 pm (Canberra time).

During this outage:

  • PPSR searches using an ASIC identifier may not return associated names
  • PPSR registrations using an ASIC identifier may not include associated names.

Please note: The absence of the name associated with the ASIC identifier from a PPSR search certificate or verification statement does not affect the data on the PPSR in relation to security interests. The PPSR does not provide refunds when ASIC information is not available.
