Important Notice - ASIC

ASIC verification is performing emergency maintenance until approximately 1:00pm (Canberra time) on Tuesday 19 August 2025.

During this outage:  

  • Searches made on the PPSR against an ASIC identifier may not return the name associated with the identifier.  
  • Registrations made against an ASIC identifier may not record the name associated with the identifier on the verification statement for the registration.  

The absence of the name associated with the ASIC identifier from a PPSR search certificate or verification statement does not affect the status of those documents, and no refunds will be available in those circumstances.

    Search by organisation grantor

    The organisation identifier you are searching against must be in accordance with the grantor identification rules in the PPS Regulations.
