PPSR Search

Motor Vehicle

Quick Motor vehicle search - This search option allows you to identify whether a serial-numbered motor vehicle described by VIN or Chassis number has a registration.

Watercraft

Search watercraft - This search option allows you to identify whether a serial-numbered watercraft has a registration. This is a serial number search. Note that an outboard motor is not 'watercraft', so a different search may need to be done for this type of personal property.

Serial number

Search serial number - This search option allows users to identify whether a specific item of personal property that may or must be described by serial number has a registration.

PPSR Registration number

Search PPSR registration number - This search option allows users to enter a specific PPSR registration number and retrieve its details. This is the number assigned to a registration in PPSR (it is not a vehicle registration number of a motor vehicle).

Individual

Search individual grantor - This search option allows users to identify whether an individual has any registrations over their personal property. It requires the exact spelling of an individual's name and their date of birth. Rules about the identification of individual grantors for PPSR can be found in the PPS Regulations. This option allows users to filter search results according to the collateral class.

Organisation

Search Organisation grantor - This search option allows users to identify whether an organisation has any registrations over their personal property and allows users to filter search results according to collateral class. You are required to select the identifier type you wish to search by and enter the corresponding identifier. The PPSR will only search for security interests registered against that identifier under the selected identifier type. Searching against multiple identifier types (e.g. the ACN and ABN) would require multiple searches on the PPSR. Rules about the identification of organisational grantors for PPSR can be found in the PPS Regulations.

Ordinal

Ordinal Search - An ordinal search allows users to compare two registration events (for example, start time, change number, end time).
