How to search
Start with company search and jurisdictionCode: "ca-ns". Pass the name as companyName, a registration number as companyNumber, or both to narrow the result. Here companyNumber is read as registryId.
Fields
To say exactly what you mean, send an advancedQuery instead. Nova Scotia (CA) understands these fields:
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
name | Entity name to search for. Matching is substring and case-insensitive across the whole register. |
registryId | Nova Scotia RJSC Registry ID to search for (e.g. '3317113'). |
Examples
{ "jurisdictionCode": "ca-ns", "advancedQuery": { "name": "Sobeys" }}Nova Scotia (CA) also accepts registryId.
Company identifiers
Search by passing the registration number as companyNumber — it is matched against the schemes this register can search on, so you do not name the scheme yourself. Not every scheme below is searchable; the rest label the values returned in a company’s identifiers.
| Identifier | Appears as | Format |
|---|---|---|
| NS Registry ID Nova Scotia Registry of Joint Stock Companies registry number — the 'Registry ID' the register prints on the entity profile and on certificates (e.g. '3317113'). Seven digits today, with headroom reserved for the eventual eighth. Verified unique across a 15,835-entity live sample: no registry number resolves to more than one entity. Note this is RJSC's public registry number, NOT an internal reference the register uses elsewhere — the two overlap but differ for roughly a fifth of the register, so they are not interchangeable. | ca_ns_registry_id | ^[0-9]{7,8}$ |
