A BCeID provides a business with a single ID and password to access the many participating government services.  It replaces the many different user names and passwords previously needed.  To get a BCeID for your business, visit https://www.bceid.ca/register/

Do you know your new Canadian postal code?

If you are unsure of your business's new postal code, find it in the Canada Postal Code Directory before you start.
