Registration

An entry on the PPSR recording a security interest; the main way to perfect an interest.

A registration costs $6 for up to seven years, $25 for up to 25 years and $115 with no end date. It must be made within the timing windows that matter: for inventory, before the customer takes possession; for other goods, within 15 business days of possession; and for company customers, within 20 business days of the agreement under s588FL of the Corporations Act.
