Affordable New Brunswick NUANS Report: What Should You Pay?

September 4, 2026

If you need a New Brunswick NUANS® report, comparing prices is not always as simple as looking for the lowest advertised number.

New Brunswick has an important difference from several other NUANS jurisdictions: the name-search process also involves a covering letter from the name search firm.

That means the better question is not simply:

What is the cheapest New Brunswick NUANS report?

It is:

What is the total price for the New Brunswick NUANS report and the accompanying cover letter I need for the filing process?

At GetNuans, a New Brunswick NUANS® Report costs $39.95 CAD, with the name search firm's cover letter included at no additional charge. Both documents are delivered together by email.

How much does a New Brunswick NUANS report cost?

There is no single government-set retail price for a New Brunswick NUANS report obtained from a private-sector name search firm.

Different providers set their own service prices, and the total can vary depending on:

whether the service is automated or manually processed
how quickly the report is delivered
whether a pre-search or name review is included
whether the New Brunswick cover letter is included
whether additional service or rush fees are added during checkout

For this reason, it is worth comparing the final price and what is included, rather than only the headline price.

GetNuans currently provides the New Brunswick NUANS® report for $39.95 CAD, including:

New Brunswick NUANS® reservation report
name search firm cover letter
instant email delivery
24/7 automated availability
no separate cover letter fee

Why does the cover letter matter in New Brunswick?

New Brunswick's name-search process is slightly different from Ontario or Alberta.

Service New Brunswick instructs applicants to obtain a New Brunswick NUANS name search report from a private-sector name search firm and to review both the report and the firm's covering letter when considering the proposed name.

The NUANS report and the cover letter are separate documents.

The NUANS report contains the name-search results.

The cover letter is prepared by the name search firm and accompanies the report as part of the New Brunswick name-search process.

This is why two services advertising similar NUANS prices may not actually provide the same package.

A low headline price may not be the final New Brunswick price

When comparing New Brunswick NUANS providers, check what happens after you select the jurisdiction.

A provider may advertise a low starting price for a NUANS report but offer the New Brunswick cover letter separately.

Other services may add charges for:

faster processing
pre-searches
specialist review
cover letter preparation
other service options

Some of those services may be useful if you want them, but they can make it difficult to compare prices based only on the number shown on the first page.

For a New Brunswick filing, the useful comparison is:

NUANS report + New Brunswick cover letter + delivery = total price

At GetNuans, that total is $39.95 CAD for the standard New Brunswick package.

Is $39.95 an affordable price for a New Brunswick NUANS report?

We believe so, particularly because the New Brunswick cover letter is already included.

GetNuans is designed as a straightforward self-service option for customers who already know the proposed name they want searched.

There is no need to purchase a faster delivery tier to receive the report promptly. The service is automated and available online 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

After your order is completed, the NUANS report and New Brunswick cover letter are generated and delivered directly to your email.

The goal is simple:

one order, one clearly stated price, and both New Brunswick name-search documents delivered together.

Do I need to pay extra for the New Brunswick cover letter?

Not when ordering through GetNuans.

The name search firm cover letter is included in the $39.95 CAD price.

You receive two separate PDF documents:

your New Brunswick NUANS® report
the accompanying name search firm cover letter

There is no additional cover letter charge.

Is a more expensive NUANS report more official?

No.

Price alone does not make one NUANS report more official than another.

A NUANS report is generated through the NUANS system. What matters is that you obtain the correct report for the jurisdiction and filing you are completing.

GetNuans is a registered NUANS® member and provides official NUANS® reports through authorized member access to the NUANS system.

Paying a higher retail price does not by itself make another provider's NUANS report more valid.

However, different providers may include additional services such as manual name review, consultations or pre-searches, so you should decide whether you actually need those extras.

Can I get a New Brunswick NUANS report instantly?

Yes.

GetNuans provides automated New Brunswick NUANS reports online 24/7.

Once your order is successfully completed, the report and cover letter are generated and emailed to you, normally within minutes.

This can be useful if you are preparing a filing outside normal business hours or simply do not want to wait for a manual processing queue.

How long is a New Brunswick NUANS report valid?

A New Brunswick NUANS report used for the applicable name-search process should be current.

Service New Brunswick's guidance states that the report must have been completed within 90 days of receipt by the Corporate Registry.

For that reason, it is usually best to order the report when you are reasonably ready to proceed with your filing.

Does a NUANS report guarantee approval of my New Brunswick company name?

No.

A NUANS report searches for potentially similar corporate names, business names and trademarks. It does not replace the Corporate Registry's final review.

The New Brunswick Corporate Registry retains authority over whether the proposed name is acceptable for the filing.

A name being available for a NUANS search should therefore not be treated as guaranteed final government approval.

What should I compare before ordering?

Before choosing a New Brunswick NUANS provider, check:

the final checkout price
whether the New Brunswick cover letter is included
whether rush delivery costs extra
whether optional services are automatically added
how quickly the documents are delivered
whether the provider supplies the correct New Brunswick NUANS report

The lowest advertised starting price is not necessarily the lowest total cost.

For New Brunswick in particular, comparing the complete package gives you a much more useful picture.

Does a more expensive NUANS provider give me a better chance of name approval?
