Moving within B.C.
Your Autoplan insurance policy must always show your current home address and vehicle use. If your policy isn't up-to-date, you might not be covered if you have a claim.
Visit any Autoplan broker to change your home address on your insurance.
Moving from B.C.
When you make a permanent move from B.C., your B.C. driver’s licence will remain valid for 90 days, enabling you a transitionary period to obtain a driver’s licence in your new jurisdiction.
Contact an insurance agent or the motor vehicle authority in the place you're moving to. Some places require you to register, license and insure your vehicle as soon as you arrive there.
Some places may also require your driving records. You can easily apply for your driving records online. Once you've completed the application, you'll receive an email with the reports free of charge.
Before you leave B.C., go to an Autoplan broker to update your insurance.
Temporarily relocating
If you're temporarily relocating to study or work (or any other reason), you probably need to update your insurance. Talk to an Autoplan broker, or contact us if you have questions.
Stayed covered
If your policy information isn't up-to-date, you might not be covered if you have a claim.
