Pick the right report
Choose Ontario or Alberta when your filing requires a provincial NUANS® report. Use preliminary search when you want an early screening step before ordering an official report.
How It Works
A careful name search starts with the right scope and clear proposed-name details.
Enter the proposed name details
Provide the proposed corporate name, main business activity, distinctive element if applicable, and any alternate spellings you want considered.
Review your order
Check the province, name spelling, contact email, and service type before moving into the future checkout flow.
Receive and use your report
The production order experience will deliver the report or preliminary search result securely. Use a report as one input in the applicable filing process.
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
A first-time founder should 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.
