Search Houses

An original Ontario-biased NUANS name search report must be obtained for the proposed name of the corporation. NUANS is a computerized search system that compares a proposed corporate name or trade-mark with databases of existing corporate bodies and trade-marks.

The Companies and Personal Property Security Branch does not provide this search. Suppliers are listed in the Yellow Pages under the heading “Searchers of Records” or visit Industry Canada’s NUANS website at, www.nuans.com for a list of registered search houses that can assist you with obtaining a NUANS search report and filing your corporate documents with the Ministry of Government Services.
