There is no time limit for applying for a review of an unlicensed driving prohibition.

You can also apply in-person at ICBC, select ServiceBC centres or an appointed agent.

What a review is

A review is an administrative justice process that you can use to challenge your prohibition. A RoadSafetyBC adjudicator will review any statements and evidence you and the police provide and consider whether your prohibition should be revoked.

Driving while prohibited

You must not drive while your licence is prohibited. Driving while prohibited is illegal. It carries a minimum fine of $500 for a first offence, a 12-month prohibition and possible imprisonment. Imprisonment is mandatory for a second offence.
