Register in the PPSR - PPS-03


In order to register financing statement information in the PPSR, you must first register as a Secured Party Group (SPG).  You will be allocated a unique SPG ID number and password that will be linked to all financing statements for that group.

  • Organisation Type (where secured party is an organisation)
  • Name of the person acting on behalf of the organisation (where secured party is anorganisation)
