The registry agent at Richmond Road Registry will make a visual examination of the financing statement submitted. If the information is complete and acceptable for entry, it will be updated onto the Alberta Personal Property Registry Electronic System (APPRES) at which time a registration number will be generated by the system. It is your responsibility to make sure that the information on any forms submitted to a registry agent is accurate. A registration may be invalidated or its effect impaired by an error or omission that is considered to be seriously misleading. 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 APPRES, the Registry Agent will provide you with a verification statement confirming the registration information as it was recorded on APPRES. Check your verification statement carefully to make sure all information has been recorded accurately, if errors are detected, have the error amended immediately on APPRES. The verification statement can be used to renew or discharge your registration.
