To keep pace with technology and improve how services are delivered to British Columbians, BC Registries and Online Services has modernized the digital experience for starting a business in B.C., including steps to reserve a business name as well as ready access to business filings and other business information.

An updated business search with quick online self-serve access to view business information and filings is also available to BC OnLine users.

To access BC Registry digital services, a more secure and easier login method using the BC Services Card app is used to verify identity. This will prove who is logged in and accessing information. Using the login will give business owners more trust and assurance that their business information is secure.

Alongside these services, other updated services for BC OnLine users are:

* Sites Registry, which offers information submitted to the provincial government on the environmental condition of land and can be used as a routine part of due diligence for land transactions and can be a helpful resource for anyone interested in purchasing or developing a property;

* Court Services Online, British Columbia’s electronic court registry; and

* Rural Property Tax search, which is used to search property tax records for rural properties or leased crown land in B.C. (excluding municipal properties and Indigenous lands).

More services will be coming soon to the modernized BC Registries and Online Services application, such as access to the Wills Registry, BC Assessment and the new Manufactured Homes Registry.
