Ownership or directorship changes

A change in ownership or directorship requires a new application and a full review of your course curriculum and instructional delivery. Approvals cannot be transferred or assigned to another individual or entity.

Requests are processed in the order they are received and are assigned based on our team’s availability. Note that this is a detailed process requiring close coordination with Driver Training Industry Support (DTIS) and you should plan for potential business interruption.

New owner/director application

The new owner/director must submit a completed Driving Training School Application and provide:

• The full legal names of the new ownership group

• The date the sale was completed or is expected to be

• Updated contact information

• Confirmation that director names have been updated with the BC Business Registry

  • If the name of a licensee is changed, the licensee must apply for a duplicate licence within 10 days and must submit satisfactory proof satisfactory to ICBC

• Confirmation that the business address has been updated with the BC Business Registry, if applicable

  • If the address of the registered office of a driver training school is changed, the driver training school must notify ICBC in writing within 10 days of the change

• Proof of a new security bond in place for the school

Curriculum review

As part of the application, all course curriculum and outlines will be reviewed to ensure they meet or exceed current ICBC standards. Once approved, we’ll assess how your course is delivered, including your location and equipment.
