Instructions for creating a Web Account

To Register a Financing Statement or Claim for Lien and pay by a major credit card you will be required to establish a Web Account.  In order to establish a Web Account your identity must be authenticated. To be authenticated, you will be required to provide consumer credit information about yourself to a third party system (i.e. not a Government of Ontario system). This system is operated by Equifax Canada Inc., a registered Consumer Reporting Agency in Ontario. This service is provided under contractual agreement with the Ministry of Government Services. Please review our Privacy Policy.
