Login Help - General

This site uses both a Login ID and an Account # to access different areas on the site. 

The Login ID is used to access the Free services on this site
The Account # is used to authorize the order of a Product/Service

We have tried to make both 'Passwords' for the Login Id and Account # the same to alleviate some confusion.

Login ID: your email address
Account #: will either be a number such as 12345, or, if you are long-standing Arvic client, AB01CD.

You will only have an Account # if you have previously purchased corporate products such as NUANS reports, Incorporations, Registrations, or Minute Books from us before. 

If we have your email address we can send all your information to you.

If we don't have your email address, contact us, and we'll update your account.

If you are already an Arvic client, then the first time you use the new online system may be difficult. We may not have your email address on file, or you may not be set-up as a "User" on your Account. Therefore, call us and we can supply you with the information you need

Login Help - Pre-screen Area

The Pre-screen Area is considered one of the Free Services we offer our customers. Therefore, your 'Login ID' will be the email address you signed up with, and the 'Password' is an auto-number/letter combination we generated for you. 

At any time, you can have your Login information Resent to you. 

The Pre-screen Login Area is case sensitive, and sometimes the numbers zero "0" and one "1", can look like the lowercase letters "o" and "l" in the Passwords. Therefore, it is best to cut-and-paste your Login information into the table, or try the 2 letter/number variations explained.

Login Help - NUANS report orders

Existing Arvic corporate customers: you will need to use your Arvic Account # and the Password we generated for you to gain access to ordering NUANS reports online.

It will resemble: AB01DC, or if you ordered recently it will be a # such as 12345.

You can have your Account # and Password emailed to you. 

You can also have multiple "Users" on your online Account. If you would like multiple employees set-up onto the online ordering system, please contact us and we will be happy to create new Users for you.

New Users: You will need to sign up as a new user if you have never purchased products or services from our corporate department before. Signing up for the NUANS Pre-screen service will not supply you with the User Account you need in order to authorize your online order.

Understanding the Pre-screen Results

The most important thing to remember is that this Pre-Screen is a 'sampling' of the NUANS database (which is a governmental database, not ours). The pre-screen can save you a lot of time and money, but please be aware that there may be conflicts that appear on your NUANS report that did not show up on the Prescreen.

With that being said, here's how to interpret your Prescreen results.

We searched "Arvic" and the following results appeared.

JUR= the jurisdiction and registration number. AB for Alberta, ON for Ontario, CD for Federal, etc.
DATE = Date of Incorporation, or registration, or last major filing.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION = this will tell you the status of that record in the database. Struck names need 3 years from the struck date before similar names can be registered.

Which NUANS Package should you order? Basic, Deluxe, or FullServ

The Basic NUANS report may be tempting to order, but it really should just be ordered by Lawyers who can clearly evaluate the NUANS report, decipher potential conflicts and make an informed judgment on the Registerability of the proposed name. 

The most common NUANS report is the Deluxe because it is fast and we personally look over your NUANS results, outline potential conflicts, and provide you with our opinion on the Registerability of the proposed name. 

The FullServ report is for the person who does not wish to perform their own prescreens. We pre-screen the database to see what names could pose a problem for your registration, and we also give suggestions to make your name more registerable.

All the NUANS packages used to be priced at $53.50, therefore, any way you go you will be saving money and receiving your report from a trusted NUANS report provider.

NUANS report delivery guarantees

"Quick" NUANS reports: The "Quick" NUANS reports are delivered to you by email within 4 hours depending on the time you submitted the NUANS report to us. 

All NUANS reports, and reports submitted after 4:00 pm (MST) are guaranteed by 10 am the next business day.

The "Not-so-Quick" NUANS reports are subject to provincial government approval, therefore we can not directly guarantee the delivery time for these reports. Sometimes the approval process is fast, and sometimes it is not.

This is the standard delivery timeline for the "Not-so-Quick" name search reports. 

 

British Columbia 1 business day
Saskatchewan 1 business day
Manitoba 1-2 business days
Newfoundland & Labrador 2-3 business days
Northwest Territories 3-4 business days
Yukon 3-4 business days
Nunavut 3-4 business days
