​​​​​​​​​​Visit a driver licensing office

Get ready for your visit to a B.C. driver licensing office by double-checking what ID you need, how much you'll have to pay, and how to book your appointments.​

Be prepared for your visit

• Make sure you have two pieces of accepted ID to bring with you each time you visit​​
• Fees and accepted payment methods
• Prepare for your road test appointment
• Free translation services at many locations

You must be a resident of British Columbia to apply for or hold a B.C. driver's licence. If you are unsure if you qualify as a resident, please contact us.

Unpaid debt, such as a provincial violation ticket or penalty point premiums, could affect your ability to renew or upgrade your licence when you visit. If you have outstanding debt with us, please contact Account Services (604-661-2723 or 1-800-665-6442).
