Extra-Provincial Registration in Nova Scotia

Register your corporation to carry on business in Nova Scotia.

If your corporation wants to carry on business in the Province of Nova Scotia, but it is not incorporated as a provincial corporation in either Nova Scotia or New Brunswick (New Brunswick corporations are exempt from Nova Scotia extra-provincial registration requirements), it must be registered as an Extra-Provincial Corporation with the Nova Scotia Registry of Joint Stock Companies. This type of registration is also required for federal (Canada) corporations and for non-Canadian corporations that wish to carry on business in Nova Scotia.

The Nova Scotia extra-provincial registration process involves reserving the corporate name with the Government of Nova Scotia, the appointment of a resident of Nova Scotia as Recognized Agent (for the purpose of receiving service of legal documents and receipt of government correspondence on your company's behalf), and the completion and submission of relevant extra-provincial registration documents along with the relevant government filing fee, in order to complete the extra-provincial registration.

Once the Nova Scotia extra-provincial registration is complete, a Certificate of Registration will be issued. Your corporation will be required to file an Annual Statement each year along with the relevant filing fee in order to keep its registration active and in good standing.
