Using a BCeID to Submit Your Natural Resource Application

What is a BCeID?

A BCeID allows you to securely sign in to many government services in British Columbia using a single user ID and password.

Note: some natural resource applications require a particular type of BCeID (see table below).

Why use a BCeID?

There are many benefits to using a BCeID account when submitting your natural resource application, including:

  • Stop and re-start – you can save your application and complete it later.
  • Progress check – discover what stage of the process your application is at.
  • Share access to one application (Business BCeID only) – multiple employees can edit/submit your applications or check the progress.
