Official $5.95 PPSR & REVS Check by Rego
The official document that protects you from repossession, and everything the search returns with it.
The one search that gives a private buyer legal protection. If nothing is registered against the vehicle when you search it by serial number, you generally take the car free of any security interest that was not registered at that moment. The certificate is the evidence you looked.
What you get
- Vehicle identity
- Money owing check
- Written-off status, with the damage detail
- Stolen check
- Registration details
- Official PPSR certificate (PDF)
- Plain-English verdict
This one is for you if
- You are buying privately and want the $5.95 official protection, not the extras.
- You have already inspected the car and need the paperwork checked by rego.
- You want the official PPSR certificate and search number, not a summary of one.
Common questions
- Can I do a PPSR / REVS check with just the registration plate?
- Yes. The official government PPSR portal strictly requires a 17-character VIN. With MyCarCheck, you only need the Australian state and registration plate number. We automatically identify the VIN from official registries and generate your official PPSR certificate in seconds for $5.95.
- Is a REVS check the same as a PPSR check?
- Yes. REVS (Register of Encumbered Vehicles) was the state-based system replaced by the national Personal Property Securities Register (PPSR). When people ask for a REVS check by rego, the official PPSR search certificate is the current legal document in Australia.
- Do I get the actual PPSR certificate?
- Yes. You get the certificate as a PDF, with its search number. That number is what evidences the search, which is what the legal protection is tied to.
- Does this tell me if the car has been written off?
- Yes. The register returns the written-off and stolen status alongside the finance result, and this check includes both, with the damage recorded against a write-off. The certificate lists it in full.
