Bulletin 27 - Temporary licence cancellation and temporary insurance policy changes - ICBC Vehicle Licencing and Insurance Bulletin
Vehicle licensing and insurance bulletin 27 describes two temporary changes in response to COVID-19.
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.
These temporary changes add to those announced in bulletins 25 & 26.
