Background
Important Information
Getting Started
A BC company that is registered in Alberta and/or Saskatchewan as an extraprovincial company must submit any changes to its extraprovincial name to the Alberta Registry and/or Saskatchewan Corporate Registry.
When the name of the BC company has been changed with the ’Notice of Alteration’ filing the change of name is sent to the other jurisdictions if the new name has already been searched. If the name has not been searched in the NWPTA jurisdictions, then this ’Change of Extraprovincial Name’ electronic filing will submit the new name to the Alberta Registry and/or Saskatchewan Corporate Registry on your behalf.
