Home / Business Services / Nuans Report
A NUANS (Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search) search is a comprehensive search that compares a proposed Alberta or extra-provincial corporation name or a proposed non-profit name to a database of Alberta and federal corporation names. Our registry agents can help you obtain one.

There are many reasons you may need a NUANS report, including:
A NUANS search is not necessary if you choose to incorporate as a numbered Alberta corporation. A NUANS report is valid for 90 days – if you wish to incorporate the name, it is important that you have the incorporation completed within the 90 days as you’ll need to purchase a new report if you still wish to use the name.

Incorporating a Business in Alberta
Whether you need a NUANS report, a Business Name Report, or other corporate registry services, you can find what you need at Registrations Are Us.
A NUANS (Newly Upgraded Automated Name Search) search is a comprehensive search that compares a proposed Alberta or extra-provincial corporation name or a proposed non-profit name to a database of Alberta and federal corporation names.
The NUANS report reserves the proposed name for 90 days. The complete report, whether an original or fax copy, must be submitted with the incorporation/registration details and must be less than 91 days old.
A NUANS report typically includes the results of the name search, listing existing business names that closely resemble the proposed name. It provides information about similarities in phonetic sounds, spelling, and wording. The report may also include a list of jurisdictions where similar names are registered. This information helps you assess the uniqueness of your proposed name and make informed decisions about whether to proceed with your business registration or name change.
The following situations do not require a NUANS report
The Business Name Report focuses on Alberta partnership and trade names (business names) and does not reserve the proposed business name. Corporate Registry recommends this report be purchased and reviewed before the registration of a business name.
