I am a student from outside B.C. Do I have to get a B.C. driver's licence to drive here? If you are a non-resident student, you don't need a B.C. driver’s licence.
To drive in B.C., you must hold a valid out-of-province licence, be registered as a full time student and be attending one of the specified educational institutions
Please note that it is important to always carry and be able to show your Student ID card when asked to do so by a Peace Officer.
For more information contact the Driver Licensing Information line at 1-800-950-1498 or 250-978-8300 in Victoria.
