Is this company registered in New Brunswick? A checklist
- Search New Brunswick’s official register (link above), not a third-party directory.
- Use the exact legal name from the contract, invoice or certificate. Then try shorter fragments.
- Confirm the legal name, entity type and status shown on the record match what you were given.
- Note whether the record is active or inactive, and the registered address.
- If you need formal proof, order the register’s certificate or summary rather than relying on a screenshot.
- Remember a CRA Business Number is a federal identifier. It does not by itself show registration in New Brunswick.
