Three types of cards
There are three types of BC Services Cards:
- BC Driver's Licence and Services Card – this combines your driver's licence and BC Services Card into one card
- Photo BC Services Card
- Non-Photo BC Services Card
Any type of card can be accepted to access insured health services.
If you use your card to access government services online, you may find that some services only accept cards with a photo. It depends on the level of assurance that the government services need.
