About us

The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a form of electronic noticeboard where secured parties can record specific details about security interests in personal property.

The register was established by the Personal Property Securities Act 1999 (PPSA) and the Personal Property Securities Regulations 2001.

Personal property includes a wide range of things including equipment, hire purchase agreements, livestock, machines, money and motor vehicles.

All searches and registrations are completed via the internet; there are no paper forms.  The register is updated instantly, as soon as a financing statement has been registered it is available for searching.

The Personal Property Securities Register is available to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
