Important Visit Information

This location does not offer the full range of Service BC payments (such as property tax or medical services plan payments) found at other centres. It shares a building with the ICBC Driver Licensing office but operates as a separate entity. Visitors should be prepared for potential wait times and must bring valid government-issued identification. The office closes for lunch and short breaks throughout the day, so checking specific timing before visiting is recommended.
