FAQ

Where can I find the VIN?

The Vehicle Identification Number or VIN is located on the vehicle itself. Look for the VIN on the vehicles door post or pillar, around the door latch. Alternatively, some VINs are located along the bottom of the front windscreen.

What is a HIN and where is it?

As the VIN is on motor vehicles, the Hull Identification Number or HIN is a unique string of characters and numbers that is either moulded into the hull or engraved onto a metal plate that is fixed to the hull of a boat.

Do I need to get the permission to search?

No. Whilst you don't need the approval of the owner or seller, you do need to have reasonable grounds to perform the search.

How can you correct detail in myPPSR report?

Contact your State or Territory road agency to request a correction.

How do I search on myPPSR?

To search for a vehicle this can be three ways, the VIN or Chassis number or Manufacturer's number.

If the motor vehicle has a VIN, enter the VIN. A VIN is the 17 character identifier recorded on most vehicles built after 1988.
If the motor vehicle does not have a VIN with 17 characters, you should enter the Chassis number. If you are searching a pre-1989 vehicle, the vehicle identifier is a Chassis number.
If the motor vehicle does not have either a VIN or a Chassis number it may have a Manufacturer's number, click here to conduct a search by Manufacturer's number.

Why may there be no information on a myPPSR report?

If your vehicle was manufactured before 1 Jan 1989

Indicate that your vehicle was manufactured before this date when entering your data into PPSR. The vehicle chassis number will be used as the serial number search type.

If your vehicle was manufactured on or after 1 Jan 1989

Indicate VIN in 'search type.'
Note: Do not use the letter I, O or Q in your VIN entry as these are invalid VIN characters.
Check the VIN on the current registration papers matches the identifier on the vehicle compliance plate.
