How It Works

A careful name search starts with the right scope and clear proposed-name details.

1

Pick the right report

Choose the NUANS® report or search service your filing requires. Select the right jurisdiction, or use a preliminary search for an early screening step before ordering an official report.

2

Enter the proposed name details

Provide the proposed corporate name, main business activity, distinctive element if applicable, and any alternate spellings you want considered.

3

Review your order

Check the jurisdiction, name spelling, contact email, and service type before moving into secure checkout.

4

Receive and use your report

Your report or preliminary search result is delivered securely by email. Use a report as one input in the applicable filing process.

5

Understand what a report does and does not do

A report helps identify similar names and trademarks. It does not itself register, incorporate, trademark, or clear the proposed name.

Practical checklist

Have a few details ready before starting a name search order.

  • Confirm the filing province before ordering.
  • Use the exact proposed corporate name spelling.
  • Keep the 90-day report validity window in mind.
  • Remember that the applicable registry makes the final decision.

Careful report use

A NUANS® report helps identify similar corporate names and trademarks. It does not itself approve, register, or trademark a name. The applicable registry makes the final decision.
