Most PPRS functions are accessible to authorized users only. The Lien Check Service is an exception. Lien Check provides access for anyone to perform a search for serial numbered goods -- a car, trailer, mobile home, airplane, boat or outboard motor -- by paying with a credit card.
PPRS registration, search and administrative functions are summarized below.
If you are a PPRS user the following functions may or may not appear in your application menu depending upon your access privileges.
Registration functions (adding a record to the PPR):
- Enter a Registration: create a new, original registration.
- Renew: extend the term of an existing registration (changes the Expiry Date).
- Amendment: change an existing registration’s details (all editable values other than the Expiry Date).
- Discharge: mark a registration as no longer active (total discharge).
- Re-registration: re-activate a registration that has been discharged or lapsed for less than 30 days.
- Global Change of Registered Interest: update or replace the secured party information for all registrations containing the designated Secured Party Number.
