Q:
Can I mail my documents to the Personal Property Registry for registration and/or a search?
No, not on the Alberta Personal Property database. A search must be performed in the province where the interest is registered. However, One Stop Licence Shop has access to every provincial database in Canada. Be sure to specify which provincial databases you want us to search. We will be pleased to do an out-of-province lien search for you.
Q:
How can I tell what the registration date is of a registered document?
A:
Consider the following example - registration number 99081203457
the first two digits are the year - 99 (1999)
the third and fourth digits are the month - 08 (August)
the fifth and sixth digits are the day of the month - 12
The full 11 digits together constitute a registration number. Each registration number is unique and is not duplicated. Each and every document is assigned a new number reflecting the date.
Q:
How do you enter the debtor name for the estate of a deceased person?

On a registration, select 'B' (Other) for the field titled 'Name Type'. Record the first name, middle name and last name of the deceased followed by the word 'Estate'.
The federal Business Development Bank (780) 495-2277 also offers advice to small businesses.

Q:
Why can't a farm vehicle be registered as the serial # collateral for some types of registration?
A:
A farm vehicle (category code FV) is defined only in the Garage Keepers' Lien Act. Because of this, a FV is only recognized when registering a Garage Keepers' Lien, or other registrations that are associated with a Garage Keepers' Lien ( i.e. Writ of Enforcement, Attachment Order, Court Order ).
