.CA Registration Problem - Parameter Value Policy Error - 7017

Recommended Posts

We saw this error crop up yesterday and wanted to provide some more information to others who may also experience this using WHMCS.

 

"Invalid Registrant information. - Parameter value policy error - 7017 - The contact name is not a legal Canadian entity - see documentation"

 

The above error is returned because when registering the domain because a client has likely selected 'Corporation' as the registrant type and some of the information they've provided is invalid. The reason it's invalid? CIRA expect the 'Company Name' section of WHMCS to contain at least one of the following words before it is considered a valid corporation:

 

bank

banque

caisse d'economie

caisse d'epargne

coop

caisse de credit

caisse populaire

compagnie

company

cooperation

cooperative

cooprix

corp

corp.

corporation

credit union

federation de societes mutuelles d'assurance

federation of mutual insurance associations

fideicommis

fiducie

inc

inc.

incorporated

incorporee

limited

limited liability company

limited liability partnership

limitee

llc

llp

ltd

ltd.

lte

ltee

ltee.

mutual benefit association

s.a.

s.a.r.f.

s.c.c.

s.r.l.

sarl

savings union

société à responsabilit? limitée

societe commerciale canadienne

societe d'entraide economique

societe d'epargne

societe de fiducie

societe de secours mutuels

societe mutuelle d'assurance

societe par actions

societe par actions a responsabilite limitee

trust

ulc

ulc.

unlimited liability company

 

So to resolve this error, be sure to include one of the above names in the 'Company Name' field of WHMCS and re-try the registration. It's quite possible that the name should include its registration status anyway, but we can't say for sure. You can also indeed work around this by selecting 'Individual' as the registrant type instead, but that's not really a resolution and technically makes the registration invalid.

 

Hope this helps someone.
