Identified

Name requests for companies in British Columbia are not currently being processed due to the temporary closure of the BC Registries. The closure is a result of ongoing job action affecting multiple government ministries.

Note that numbered incorporations, companies with an existing approved named request, and any post-incorporation filings are not impacted.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will update as new information becomes available.
