Your search results
When we have performed your search, you’ll receive a PPSR search certificate. This will show you all the security interests registered on the PPSR against the serial number you’ve searched for. The PPSR search certificate is a legal record.
No PPSR registrations
Look at your search certificate under the heading ‘PPSR Registration Details’: If your certificate says:
‘There is no security interest or other registration kind registered on the PPSR‘.
This means no one has a current registered security interest on the PPSR.
PPSR registrations
If your certificate shows any ‘PPSR registration’ details, this means someone has registered their security interest on the PPSR. This means someone claims to have an interest in the property of the individual, e.g. they have used their property as collateral for a secured loan. The details of the person or organisation who has registered the interest (the secured party) will appear here.
If you’d like more information about the interest, you can contact the individual directly or the secured party using the address details provided on the certificate.
Unknown results and migrated registrations
Your search result may return registrations that have fields marked as ‘unknown’. This is because they migrated from different registers to the PPSR in 2012 and may not have had enough information (such as date of birth) to match the search criteria you’ve used. This means it may return multiple registrations where the name matches but not the date of birth.
