How registrations are handled at One Stop Licence Shop
 

One Stop Licence Shop will examine the financing statement. If the information is complete and acceptable for entry, One Stop Licence Shop will update the Personal Property Information System (PERPIS), at which time a registration number will be generated by the system.

Seriously misleading information could mean that the registration would not be disclosed in a search result. Particular attention should be made in completing the description of debtor names and serial numbers.

A secured party has obligations to ensure there are sufficient grounds for registration and that the registration is made in good faith. A failure to comply with this obligation could lead to a claim by any person suffering damages as a result of such registration.

When your interest is registered on PERPIS, One Stop Licence Shop will provide you with a verification statement confirming the registration information as it was recorded on PERPIS. Check your verification statement carefully to make sure all information has been recorded accurately, if errors are detected, ask One Stop Licence Shop to have the error amended immediately. The verification statement can be used to renew or discharge your registration.
