PPSR SPG Registration

A secured party is the individual or organisation who holds a security interest in personal property. A secured party group (SPG) is a system construct used by the PPSR to help secured parties manage their registrations.

The SPG can have any combination of individual or organisation secured parties. Once you have set up an SPG, you cannot change the secured parties within it. If you need to add or remove secured parties, you must create a new SPG.

Secured Party Group Numbers

Each SPG is identified by two different numbers – a unique secured party group number and an access code. SPGs and accounts are not the same thing and are not linked. Your account username and password are not the same as your SPG number and access code.

Address for Service

The address for service is email, mailing and if provided physical address used for giving notices to the secured party. The PPSR sends one notification to the address for service by email and it is the responsibility of the owner of the address for service to distribute this notification to any other of the secured parties in the secured party group.

The address for service is displayed on registrations that belong to the SPG. People using the PPSR will use the address for service details to contact the secured parties if they have any questions about the registration, so it is important this information is kept up to date. You must enter an email and mailing address. A physical address is optional.
