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:
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, applicable Third Party Data Conditions (for example NEVDIS data conditions) and the appropriate fees.
This is the serial number search type chosen.
The motor vehicle serial number is available on the vehicle's registration papers. It is also on the vehicle's compliance plate, usually located under the bonnet.
Make sure you enter the serial number correctly, with each character in the correct order. If you enter the wrong number, PPSR will still conduct the search and charge you for the cost of the search.
For further information, please see Glossary - serial number or motor vehicle.
Warning: If you do not enter the VIN, Chassis or Manufacturer's number correctly, you may risk not finding registrations for the motor vehicle. If you enter the incorrect VIN, Chassis or Manufacturer's number the PPSR will still conduct the search and charge you for the cost of the search. This field is not case sensitive. There is no ability to search by engine number.
