These are the official sources being reviewed before checks open in New Brunswick. A source being listed is a starting point, not a finding.
Official sources
Sources on file for New Brunswick
A listed source does not apply to every contractor, trade, municipality, agreement or project.
registry
Corporate Registry
Public business/entity identity source. The Registry states its database is not the official legal record and restricts automated bulk retrieval; use manual exact-name inquiries only.
Current licensing, bond, written-contract, official-language, cancellation and delivery starting point; verify transaction applicability and exceptions.
Official licence-search entry point, including door-to-door sales. Match vendor and salesperson separately, capture expiry and category, and do not treat licensing as endorsement.
Official federal, provincial and municipal permit-routing source only; local business licences and discipline-specific inspection systems remain separate.
Draft New Brunswick module is unavailable and cannot generate customer-facing conclusions.
Corporate registration, direct-seller licensing, WorkSafeNB status, trade credentials, and municipal permits are separate systems with different scopes.
No single New Brunswick source verifies every renovation contractor, insurance policy, trade, permit, or project.
Municipal permits, local licences, gas/plumbing/technical disciplines, inspections, zoning, septic and environmental approvals remain incomplete.
Consumer rights, direct sales, language requirements, cancellation, liens, trusts, holdbacks, prompt payment, adjudication, notices, insurance, and payment release require qualified fact-specific review.
A missing or unmatched result may reflect identity, exemption, registration, coverage, timing, source scope, access limits, or inapplicability and is not evidence of wrongdoing.

The free guides are written for BC, Alberta and Ontario, but the first steps work anywhere: the exact name on the quote, the certificate of insurance from the broker, and what the deposit pays for.
