The New Brunswick Personal Property Registry (PPR) provides access to register and search personal property security notices.
If you want full access to PPRS you will need to sign up for an ACOL client account. An account will provide you with one or more user IDs and passwords in order to login to PPRS. You can use an account to access the New Brunswick PPR and all other ACOL PPRS jurisdictions.
If you do not have an account, you have two options:
- Use the Lien Check Service. Lien Check supports serial number searching only and requires a valid credit card.
- Pay a value-added service provider to access the PPR for you: find a value-added service provider to help you.
For all matters pertaining to ACOL PPRS please contact the Client Support Centre (CSC). When required, CSC staff will refer your questions or concerns to an appropriate government contact person.
