Official source · from €9.99
An invoice from a company you don't recognise deserves one check before payment: does the issuer actually exist in the official Canada register, and do its details match the invoice? Official record by email in minutes. From €9.99, no account, no subscription.

Every Canada order includes a structured company record and a branded PDF. Where the official register provides it, the original official document is included too.
We fetch your data live from the official company register — the authoritative source, not a third-party copy or a cached database. This country is covered by its national register with full record detail.
Put the invoice next to the official Canada register record and compare field by field: the exact legal name including the legal-form suffix, the registration number, the tax identifier and the registered address. Every one of these appears on a legitimate invoice, and every one can be verified against the register.
Then look at status and people. An active company with named directors and a plausible registration history is a very different counterparty from an entity that was dissolved last year — or incorporated last month.
Fake invoicing is one of the most common B2B fraud patterns, and it comes in three recurring shapes: ghost companies that exist only on paper or not at all; hijacked identities of dissolved or liquidated firms whose names still look trustworthy; and lookalike names that differ from a real supplier by a single word or legal-form suffix.
All three collapse under a register check. A ghost company has no record, a liquidated firm shows its true status, and a lookalike reveals a different registration number and seat than the supplier you actually work with.
Don't pay, and don't reply to the invoice. Contact the supposed supplier through contact details you already have on file or find independently — never the phone number or email on the invoice itself. If the company confirms it never issued the invoice, keep the document as evidence and alert your accounts-payable team so the same fraud isn't paid twice.
Look up the issuer in the official Canada company register and compare the record with the invoice: exact legal name, registration number, tax details and registered address must match what is printed on the invoice. A company that cannot be found — or whose details differ — is a serious warning sign.
Not automatically. A common fraud pattern is an invoice sent in the name of a real company but with substituted bank details. Confirm the payment details through a channel you already know — a phone number or email address from a previous order — never through the contact details printed on the suspicious invoice itself.
A registration or tax number that doesn't match the register, an issuer that is dissolved or in liquidation, a company incorporated only weeks before sending its first invoice, or a registered seat at a PO box or mail-forwarding address while the invoice suggests a full operation.
From €9.99 as a one-time payment — a fraction of a single fraudulent invoice. You receive the official Canada register record by email in minutes, with no account and no subscription.
