B.C.'s enhanced identification card
B.C.'s enhanced identification card (EIC) is a travel document you can use to enter the U.S. at land and water border crossings.
Due to a Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) change, anyone using a Canadian Citizenship Certificate issued on or after Feb. 1, 2012 as ID cannot apply for or renew an EDL or EIC.
ICBC is working with CIC and hopes to be able to accept this document in the near future. Please check back for updates.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Why get an EIC?
- Like an enhanced driver's licence, the EIC is a convenient wallet-sized card that proves your identity and citizenship. It's ideal for those who don't drive or are 12 or older.
- It has the latest security features to prevent fraud and identity theft.
- It's a less expensive alternative to a passport for travel to the U.S. by land or water.
- It provides access to a faster Ready Lane. Visit Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative
for more information.
- It makes family travel easier.
- If you have a driving prohibition or licence suspension, you can still apply for an EIC.
