Important Notice - ASIC

ASIC verification has a scheduled outage on Saturday 21 December from 6.30pm to Sunday 22 December 6:30pm (Canberra time). 

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 for watercraft

    This search option allows users to identify registrations that exist against a specific item of serial-numbered personal property. 

    Four categories of collateral class may be searched by serial number:

    • motor vehicles
    • watercraft
    • aircraft and
    • certain intangible property (patent, design, trade mark, and plant breeder's right).

    Please see the relevant collateral class in the Glossary for the correct serial number identifier type.

    Use of the PPSR is subject to the PPS Register General Conditions of Use, Third Party Data Conditions (for example NEVDIS data conditions) and the appropriate fees.
    Serial number search type:

    This is the serial number search type chosen.

    For further information, please see Glossary - watercraft, HIN, official number and serial number.



    You must specify serial number
    A value for HIN is required
    A value for official number is required

    An official number is a 6 digit serial number issued by the Australian Shipping Registration Office to Australian registered ships.

    When searching on an official number enter the number following the 'ON' prefix (do not enter 'ON') and include any leading zeros to make the full 6 digit serial number.

    Please check the serial number before proceeding with your request.

    A HIN is a unique 14 character alphanumeric identifier for a watercraft, usually allocated by a registration authority of a state or territory.

    The PPSR ignores your use of upper/lower case and any dashes and spaces.

    Please check the serial number before proceeding with your request.

    A HIN is a unique 14 character alphanumeric identifier for a watercraft, usually allocated by a registration authority of a state or territory.

    The PPSR ignores your use of upper/lower case and any dashes and spaces.

    Please check the serial number before proceeding with your request.

    Additional watercraft information such as make, model and colour are not available from the PPSR and will not be returned as part of a search.

    Where the watercraft has an outboard motor they are not described by serial number.

    Note: Some migrated registrations from Queensland for outboard motors were described by serial number, and where this is the case, it appears as a HIN.
