Mobile Card
A mobile card is digital ID on your mobile device. You use it to prove who you are when accessing a government service online.
It's Quick and Easy
It normally takes about five minutes to set up a mobile card
- You must provide government-issued ID, like your BC Services Card
- You can verify your identity by video right from your mobile device
- You don't need to go in person, unless you can't verify by video
You can also use your mobile card to log in on any device - such as a laptop, tablet or phone.
Use Your Mobile Card
After you're set up, you can use your mobile card to access many government services.
You can't use a mobile card as:
- Photo ID
- Driver's licence
- Health card
It's Secure
You must do a one-time security check to verify your identity.
- It proves you are who you say you are
- It makes sure no one else can set up a mobile card with your ID
- It prevents identity theft
In your BC Services Card Account, you can see
- All mobile devices set up with your mobile card
- All your card activity and use
Only your name and a unique identifier is stored on the mobile device.
Password-free login
You don't need to create another password to remember.
Simply unlock your mobile device to use your mobile card using the authentication already set up on your device – like a passcode, PIN, fingerprint, Face ID.
Make sure to protect your device because anyone that can unlock your mobile device could use your mobile card to:
- See your identity information
- Access your data
- Access government services as you
Lost your device?
If you lose your mobile device, or if it's stolen, you can remove the mobile card from that device by either
- Logging in to your BC Services Card Account and remove it yourself if you have another way to log in
- Going to any Service BC location and they can remove it for you
