Register an interest in the Personal Property Registry.
To register an interest, fill out the form for the type of lien you wish to register and drop it off at a registry agent.
Some interests must be registered within specific time frames. You should allow adequate lead time for processing by a registry agent if there are any legislative time limits for registration.
The type of lien depends on how the interest is registered.

Take the form to a registry agent.
The registry agent will review the financing statement. If the information is complete and acceptable, it will be updated onto the Alberta Personal Property Registry Electronic System (APPRES). A verification statement will be generated by the system as proof of registration.
You must 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 the registration.
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.
