About your Nova Scotia NUANS® report

What it is: Your Nova Scotia NUANS® report is an official name search and reservation report that can be used with an eligible Nova Scotia name-reservation application. It helps identify similar corporate names, business names and trademarks before the Registry of Joint Stock Companies completes the separate name review and reservation.
Common use cases: Nova Scotia name reservation application
Providing your own NUANS Report with a name reservation
Nova Scotia / Atlantic name search
90-day period: If you provide your own NUANS Report to Nova Scotia, it must be dated within the applicable 90-day period before the name-reservation application. This report-age requirement is separate from any reservation period after registry approval.
Automatic delivery: GetNuans automatically processes Nova Scotia NUANS Reports. Completed reports are typically delivered electronically within minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Government name approval or reservation is a separate Registry step.

Common questions about Nova Scotia NUANS Reports

Do I need a NUANS Report for a Nova Scotia name reservation?

A NUANS Report can be used with an eligible Nova Scotia name-reservation application. If you provide your own report, it must meet the Registry’s applicable requirements, and the Registry still completes the final name review and reservation.

Can I provide my own NUANS Report to Nova Scotia?

Yes. Nova Scotia accepts a valid customer-provided NUANS Report for the applicable name-reservation process.

How recent does my NUANS Report need to be?

Use a report dated within the applicable 90-day period before you submit the Nova Scotia name-reservation application.

Does the NUANS Report itself reserve my Nova Scotia name?

No. The report supplies name-search results; the Registry of Joint Stock Companies performs the separate name review and reservation decision.

Does Nova Scotia still need to approve the name?

Yes. The Registry of Joint Stock Companies must complete the government name review and approval or reservation step.

Can providing my own NUANS Report reduce the Nova Scotia government search fee?

It may reduce the government search portion of the application fee. Check the current Nova Scotia Registry fee schedule before submitting.

How quickly can I receive the NUANS Report?

Completed reports are typically delivered electronically within minutes. GetNuans accepts orders 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

What do I do after receiving my Nova Scotia NUANS Report?

Submit the report with your name-reservation application to the Registry of Joint Stock Companies, which completes the final review.
