Personal Property Registry System - Lien Check Service
Service New Brunswick
Overview
You may use the Lien Check Service to identify liens on personal property that is a motor vehicle, trailer, mobile home, airplane, boat or outboard motor. This can help protect you from purchasing personal property that may be subject to seizure now or in the future.

Description
Lien Check searches the Personal Property Registry (PPR) to identify registrations and their current details. You will specify a serial number such as the motor vehicle identification number. The Lien Check will identify registrations exactly and closely matching your serial number. You will receive an official record of the contents of the PPR in the form of a Search Result Report.
You should NOT use Lien Check to search for personal property other than a motor vehicle, trailer, mobile home, airplane, boat or outboard motor. Though other goods (for example: computers, televisions, home appliances, tools) may feature a serial number, they are not listed by serial number within the Personal Property Registry.
