Personal Property
The Personal Property System of Alberta (PPSA)
registers and tracks liens and encumbrances on
property owned by individuals or businesses other
than Real Property (real estate or land) -- see Land
Titles for that.
PPSA searches can be done by serial number or by individual or business name.
The most common consumer example of a PPSA search would be a Lien Search on a used automobile. A more sophisticated search, the Vehicle information Report (VIR) is also available and provides more information. However, the VIR--if a lien is present--only shows there is a lien. In that case you may want to also do a Lien Search to get the details of it.
PPSA information -- by definition -- is not confidential. Corporate Account clients can login and submit requests through our web site.
