Where this comes from
The official form is published by ppsr.gov.au; this page is a completion guide. Last checked on 2026-10-17.
When to use it
Use before registering a financing statement for a security interest, including retention of title, PMSI and general security registrations. Not for New Zealand registrations, which use the NZ PPSR under different rules.
How AI may be used
AI may extract grantor identifiers and collateral details for checking. A person verifies every entry against ASIC, ABR and identity records and makes the registration.
AI may
- Extract grantor names, identifiers, collateral descriptions and dates from the executed security agreement into a data sheet
- Calculate the 20-business-day and PMSI deadlines from the dates supplied, showing the working
- Flag grantors whose identifier cannot be confirmed from a current search
AI must not
- Must not submit, amend or discharge a registration
- Must not choose the grantor identifier or collateral class without a person confirming it
- Must not process individuals’ dates of birth and licence details in a tool not approved for personal information
The lawyer checks
- Grantor identifier chosen in the prescribed order and checked against a current ASIC or ABR search, or the correct identity document
- Collateral type, class and PMSI flag match the security agreement
- Registration made within the s 588FL window and the PMSI deadline, and the verification statement checked on receipt
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
