Book a knowledge test and other driver licensing and ID services
You’ll need to book an appointment for knowledge tests, licence renewals and replacements, BC Services Card and BCID applications and renewals, along with most other driver licensing services.
To avoid waiting, we recommend that you arrive no more than 15 minutes before your appointment. When visiting a driver licensing office, masks and physical distancing are voluntary.
Looking to book a road test?
Road tests are booked using a different system than other services, including knowledge tests. Review this page for information on booking an appointment for these services.
Before you book your in-person appointment
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.
The following services are available online or by phone and don't require an appointment:
You may also book a review online for an immediate roadside prohibition (IRP), administrative driving prohibition (ADP) or unlicensed driving prohibition through RoadSafetyBC.
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 call Account Services (604-661-2723 or 1-800-665-6442) prior to booking an appointment.

Depending on your location, your nearest driver licensing office may be operated by ICBC directly, by Service BC or, in smaller communities, by an appointed agent (typically an Autoplan broker). These three location types have separate booking systems.
If you know the type of office nearest you, you can book your appointment online with ICBC Driver licensing or with Service BC or find the contact information for

The driver licensing offices in Chilliwack and Prince George are currently for road tests only. For other driver licensing services in these areas, please
