A search of the state-based Register of Encumbered Vehicles (REVs), or the Vehicle Security registers (VSR), was known as a REVs check.
All records stored on state-based registers have been transferred to the PPSR, which cover the whole of Australia, and all state based registers are now closed. Please see the list of these previous registers and the historical records they contain for more information.
You can do a Do a used car search or vehicle search, if you have a VIN or chassis number, or Search by serial number if you only have the manufacturer's number.
The PPSR will then email a search certificate to you. If you do not have an email address select ‘View search certificate’ to print or download the certificate.
