Written-off and stolen checks in Victoria
The PPSR is a single national register, so a PPSR check covers any vehicle in Australia, including one registered in Victoria. In Victoria, vehicle registration and the Written-Off Vehicle Register are managed by VicRoads. Written-off and stolen records from every state and territory are shared through the national system known as NEVDIS (the National Exchange of Vehicle and Driver Information System), which the PPSR draws on when you run a search.
That means a Carify PPSR check shows you finance owing, write-off history and stolen status for a Victoria car in one report, along with the official government PPSR certificate. You can also confirm registration details directly with VicRoads on the VicRoads website.
How much does a PPSR check cost in Victoria?
The official government PPSR search costs $2 and tells you about finance owing, write-off and stolen status. A full Carify report includes that official PPSR certificate plus the odometer and market valuation, a visual written-off damage report and every safety recall. See the full breakdown on our PPSR check page.
Victoria PPSR Check FAQs
No. The PPSR is a national register, so the check itself is the same whether the car is in Victoria or any other state. The state matters for registration, which in Victoria is handled by VicRoads, and for where written-off and stolen data is first recorded before it is shared nationally.
The official government PPSR search is $2. A full Carify report costs more because it adds the odometer and valuation comparison, a visual written-off damage report and every safety recall on top of the official PPSR certificate.
A PPSR check and a rego check answer different questions. The PPSR check covers finance, write-off and stolen status. A VIC rego check confirms the vehicle's registration status and expiry. It is worth doing both before you buy.
