Replace damaged, lost or stolen licence or BCID
If your licence has been damaged, lost or stolen, you can replace it at any ICBC driver licensing office.
If your licence has been stolen, contact your local police to file a report.
How to replace your licence or ID
To replace your licence:
Book an appointment to replace your licence at an ICBC driver licensing office
Bring accepted ID
Pay the fee for either a renewal or replacement
Note: If you do not have enough accepted ID to replace your lost or stolen card, please call our driver licensing information line.
If your licence is expired or due to expire in the next 6 months, you'll need to pay any outstanding amount that you owe to ICBC or the provincial government, including violation tickets, penalty point premiums and any Autoplan debt. Unpaid debt could affect your ability to renew or upgrade your licence. If you have outstanding debt with us, please call Account Services (604-661-2723 or 1-800-665-6442) prior to booking an appointment. For more information about when we refuse to issue a licence, please see the relevant section of the Motor Vehicle Act.
If you're outside of B.C. and do not have your licence
Depending on your situation we may be able to help you if you call our driver licensing information line.

Replace lost or stolen EDL or EIC
If your enhanced driver's licence (EDL) or enhanced ID card (EIC) is lost or stolen, call ICBC driver licensing at 1-800-950-1498.
The Enhanced driver's licence (EDL) and Enhanced ID card (EIC) programs are being phased out, which means we are not replacing, renewing or issuing new EDLs or EICs. If your EDL/EIC was lost or stolen, we will issue you a driver's licence/BCID. If the expiry date of your EDL/EIC is within the 180-day renewal window, the standard BCDL/BCID renewal fees will apply, otherwise no fee is required.
Found your card?
If you find your EDL or EIC after reporting it missing, you
can't use the card to cross the border
can still use your EDL to drive
Important: If you try to use your EDL or EIC at the U.S. border while its status on our records is lost or stolen, it will be confiscated. You could also encounter problems if you're pulled over by the police in B.C.
