Frequently
Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about NUANS reports in Canada.
What is a NUANS report?
NUANS (Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search) is a national database search system used in Canada to determine whether a proposed business or corporate name is available. A NUANS report lists similar existing names and trademarks, helping you confirm your name is unique before incorporating.
Do I need a NUANS report to incorporate?
Yes — a NUANS report is required for federal incorporation and most provincial incorporations in Canada (Ontario, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI, and Newfoundland). British Columbia and Quebec have their own name search systems.
How long is a NUANS report valid?
A NUANS report is valid for 90 days from the date it is issued. You must submit your incorporation application within this 90-day window. If your report expires, you'll need to order a new one.
How quickly will I receive my report?
Most NUANS reports are delivered within 15 minutes of placing your order. In rare cases during peak periods, delivery may take up to 1 hour. You'll receive your report directly to your email inbox.
What if my business name is not available?
If your preferred name is too similar to an existing registered name or trademark, we'll notify you immediately. You can then choose a different name and order a new report at a discounted rate. Our team can also advise on name modifications that may make your name acceptable.
Is the NUANS report included if I incorporate with you?
Yes — if you use our incorporation service, the NUANS name search is included at no extra charge. The $49.99 standalone report is for customers who only need the name search without the full incorporation service.
