PPSR

Overview

The Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) is a national online register managed by the federal government. Individuals and organisations can use the PPSR to register and search for debts and other security interests in personal property such as cars, boats and artworks.

In our context you are able to generate a standard report by sending the following params to the certificates endpoint.

{
     "rego": "BMT038",
     "state": "VIC",
    "type": "ppsr"
}

The response will contain structured information about the certificate as well as the PDF itself under the URL parameter.

{
    "success": true,
    "certificate": {
        "id": "be5ae7cd-c54e-43c5-afdf-1febda8b40ba",

PPSR Updates

To request updates for a Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR) certificate, utilize the endpoint /v2/certificates/{id}/updates by substituting {id} with the unique certificate ID you received upon generation. This allows you to check for any changes to the PPSR.

Upon successful request, a JSON response is returned indicating whether the certificate has expired ("has_expired": true), if any information has changed ("has_changed": true), and provides updated certificate details such as the vehicle's make, model, year, registration details, and whether it has any security interests, stolen records, safety recalls, or written off records.

{
  "success": true,
  "updates": {
    "has_expired": true,
    "has_changed": true,
    "certificate": {
      "id": "d94f4418-0574-48c2-b837-a2c15b16313d",
      "body_type": "CAR/STATION WAGON",
      "colour": "BLUE",
      "make": "SUBARU",
      "model": "OUTBACK",
      "rego": "1CF6ER",
      "rego_state": "VIC",
      "year": "2015",
      "has_safety_recalls": true,
      "has_secured_parties": true,
      "has_stolen_records": true,
      "has_written_off_records": true,
      "url": "string"
    }
