Name Search

A name search is required in Alberta in the following cases:

  • to incorporate an Alberta company with a name other than a number;
  • to incorporate a company under the federal Business Corporations Act;
  • to register an extra-provincial company in Alberta;
  • to change the name of an Alberta or federal company;
  • to register a declaration of trade name;
  • to determine whether the name is available for registration as a trade-mark under the Trade-Marks Act

The written results of a name search are contained in a NUANS report.

For a fee of $64.20 including GST we will:

  • conduct a name search;
  • confirm by email within one business day that one of the searched names is available (or not as the case may be);
  • provide you with a copy (by mail) of the NUANS report.

If you are also using our "Basic Incorporation" download service, once you have received a positive confirmation of your name choice, you may proceed with that service by returning to our site as a "Returning Client".

We suggest that you provide us with 3 names in the order of your preference.
