Setting up your online services account
How to create an account to use our online services
You need to have an online services account to search and register on the PPSR. There are no joining or maintenance fees – you pay only for the services you use.
To have access to all PPSR services, you need to have a RealMe® username and password. If you're an individual who only needs to search the PPSR, you can set up an account using your Google login.

Terms and conditions
When you create an online services account, you'll be asked to agree to our terms and conditions. These set out your responsibilities and help ensure the information you provide is kept secure. By doing so, you're committing to keeping your information on the PPSR up to date.
Setting up an account using your Google login
For individual customers planning only to search the PPSR, we've simplified the login process.
Instead of creating a RealMe login, you have the option to use your existing Google username and password to log in to the PPSR.
The PPSR uses only your login to provide access to your PPSR account, and doesn't acquire any profile or personal details from Google.
To set up an account to search the PPSR using your Google login details:
- Fill in the username and contact details.
- Agree to the terms and conditions and click 'Next'.
- Click 'Create user'.
