Requesting access to LEXIS
Whether you are entering your exemption applications on-line directly into LEXIS or submitting LEXIS XML files on-line through the Electronic Submission Framework (ESF), you need to be granted access to LEXIS.
To gain access, email the following information to Provincial.Log.Export.Analyst@gov.bc.ca:
- The BCeID to be used to login to LEXIS
- Many industry users will already have a Business BCeID for use with other ministry on-line applications. You can also use it for LEXIS. If not, you can search for your company within the BCeID Online Business Directory. Next, contact the Profile or Account Manager listed for your company to request access. If your company is not found, follow the registration process to obtain a Business BCeID
- The name, email address and telephone number associated with the login BCeID
- To confirm the correct BCeID
- The company name and ministry client number for the company to be linked to the BCeID
- Many industry users will already have a client number. It can also be used for LEXIS
- If necessary, we can help find the ministry client number
Once the above information is processed you will receive an email notice stating your access to LEXIS is active.
