Important information about the role of GetNuans, NUANS® reports, and registry decisions.

Effective date: July 8, 2026.

Independent private service

GetNuans is an independent private service operated by a NUANS member. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario, or the Government of Alberta.

NUANS® report limitations

A NUANS® report helps identify similar corporate names and trademarks.

A NUANS® report does not itself approve, register, incorporate, or trademark a proposed name.

A name search report is not name approval. The applicable registry makes the final decision.

Federal process

New federal incorporation and corporate name preapproval are handled through Corporations Canada's own process and are not sold through this website.

Accuracy and final decisions

A report reflects the information available in the NUANS® system at the time of the search and the exact name details you provide. It may not capture every similar name, and results can change over time.

You are responsible for reviewing your report and deciding, with professional advice if needed, whether to proceed with a filing. The applicable registry makes the final decision on any name.
