What is the PPSR in New Zealand?

Updated 2026-06

The PPSR is the Personal Property Securities Register, New Zealand's public record of security interests over personal property such as vehicles, equipment and stock. It shows whether someone already has a registered claim over goods, which matters when you buy assets or lend against them.

Key facts

  • It records security interests over personal property, not land.
  • It matters when buying assets or taking security.
  • It is separate from the Companies Register.
