Order any RDPRM search from Quebec — the PPSA equivalent
Quebec doesn't operate under the Personal Property Security Act — it has its own civil-law system for registering rights over movable property. Order a search of the Register of Personal and Movable Real Rights (RDPRM), Quebec's equivalent to a PPSA search, for any business in the province.

Searching Quebec RDPRM directly
Quebec operates under the Civil Code of Québec rather than a Personal Property Security Act, so there's no 'PPSA' in Quebec in the technical sense. Instead, security interests in movable property — called hypothecs — are recorded in the Register of Personal and Movable Real Rights (RDPRM), maintained by the Ministère de la Justice. The RDPRM is publicly searchable online 24/7, and functionally serves the same purpose as a PPSA search in the rest of Canada: confirming whether a piece of equipment or other business asset has a registered claim against it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quebec RDPRM — common questions
The RDPRM (Register of Personal and Movable Real Rights) is Quebec's civil-law registry for rights over movable property, including hypothecs — the Quebec equivalent of a security interest. It serves the same practical purpose as a PPSA search elsewhere in Canada, but operates under the Civil Code of Québec rather than a Personal Property Security Act.
No. Quebec is the only Canadian province that doesn't operate under a Personal Property Security Act. It uses its own civil-law framework, and the RDPRM is the registry that plays the equivalent role.
Yes. Searching a business's exact legal name or NEQ in the RDPRM shows whether a hypothec or other registered right exists against its movable property — the same check a PPSA search performs for businesses in other provinces.
A movable hypothec is Quebec's civil-law equivalent of a security interest — a right a creditor holds over a debtor's movable property (such as equipment or inventory) as security for a debt. It's registered in the RDPRM rather than in a PPSA-style registry.
The underlying legal systems differ, but the practical result is the same: confirmation of registered rights against a business. Current presents RDPRM results in the same normalized report format as its PPSA search reports from other jurisdictions.
