One change is to enable licence plate retentions. (Previously, a person cancelling vehicle licence and insurance was required to return the number plates to ICBC to get their licence and premium refund, unless transferring the plates to a substitute vehicle.)
The other is that some visiting motorist credentials are extended by their home jurisdiction beyond the expiry date appearing on their documents.
