Searching BC PPSA Registry directly
British Columbia doesn't offer a simple self-serve online search for occasional users. Full online search access is set up for registered professional accounts used by high-volume searchers (law firms, lenders, and similar frequent users); anyone else is directed to submit a search request by mail with a government fee — slower and less convenient than an instant online lookup.
Frequently Asked Questions
BC PPSA Registry — common questions
Not easily. Full online self-serve access is reserved for registered professional accounts. Occasional searchers are generally directed to a mail-in request instead.
A mail-in request takes days to process, compared to an instant result through an online professional account or through Current.
No. BC OrgBook is a free public dataset of basic corporate information — legal name, status, incorporation number. It doesn't include PPSA registrations, liens, or security interests, which are a separate registry entirely.
Yes — PPSA searches match against the exact legal name on file. A minor variation, such as a missing 'Inc.' or 'Ltd.', can affect results, so it's best to use the business's full legal name as registered.
A PPSA search checks for registered security interests (liens) against a business. A corporate registry search confirms whether a business is legally incorporated and in good standing. They're separate registries answering different questions.
