No more decals: ICBC

Darpan News Desk ICBC, 27 Apr, 2022 02:36 PM

To coincide with the launch of online auto insurance renewals, B.C. drivers from May onwards will no longer be required to display a licence plate validation decal to show they have valid insurance.

As of May, you’ll no longer need to display a decal on your licence plate. If you’re thinking about summer travel outside the province or over the border, other jurisdictions and border agencies have been notified.https://t.co/2yYevOMdhY #ICBC #BCdrivers #BritishColumbia pic.twitter.com/7k3KLlQWeO

This change aligns our province with other jurisdictions in Canada that have successfully eliminated the decal, including Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec and the North West Territories. We've also let other jurisdictions and borders know about these changes so you can have peace of mind traveling outside of B.C.

Blank stickers will not be given out to place on top of your current decal when you renew your insurance. After May 1, you may choose to leave your decal on your licence plate or remove it.

Importantly, everyone will need to continue to keep their insurance documents in their vehicle at all times. You'll be able to print these out at home, request a copy by mail or visit a broker office to receive a copy.

More information on online renewals will be made available on icbc.com in March, when British Columbians are able to start renewing May policies online.
