What is a NUANS Report?
NUANS stands for Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search. It is a Government of Canada database system that checks whether your proposed business or corporate name conflicts with any existing registered corporations, business names, or trademarks across Canada.
A NUANS report is a mandatory legal document required to incorporate a business federally or provincially in Ontario, Alberta, or New Brunswick. Without it, your incorporation application will be rejected.
- ✓ Searches corporations, sole proprietorships, and trade names
- ✓ Searches the Canadian Trademarks Database
- ✓ Valid for 90 days from date of issue
- ✓ Temporarily reserves your proposed business name

Common Questions About NUANS Reports
Everything you need to know before ordering your NUANS report.
A NUANS report (Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search) is a mandatory government-required document for incorporating a business in Canada. It searches the national database for existing business names, corporations, and trademarks to ensure your proposed name is unique and available for registration.
A NUANS report is valid for 90 days from the date it is issued. You must submit it to the applicable provincial or federal corporate registry within this 90-day window to complete your incorporation. If your incorporation is not completed within 90 days, you must order a new NUANS report.
Depending on the service tier you select:
- Standard ($19): Delivered within 3 business hours
- Express ($29): Delivered within 1 hour — priority processing
- Instant + Bundle ($49): Automatically delivered upon payment confirmation
No. NUANS reports are required for incorporations (corporations), not sole proprietorships. Sole proprietorship registration follows a different process in each province and does not require a NUANS search. Learn more →
A NUANS report is required for:
- Federal (Canada-wide) incorporation under the Canada Business Corporations Act
- Ontario incorporation under the Ontario Business Corporations Act
- Alberta incorporation under the Alberta Business Corporations Act
- New Brunswick incorporation
Other provinces (BC, Quebec, Manitoba, etc.) use their own name approval processes — not NUANS.
The NUANS report reference number (also called a reservation number) is a unique identifier printed on your NUANS report. You must include this number when submitting your incorporation application to the corporate registry. It confirms the NUANS search was conducted and the name is temporarily reserved.
