Create a company password by entering the incorporation number and selecting how you want to create the password.

Step One

Enter the company's incorporation number OR business number

Incorporation Number

This number is assigned at the time of incorporation and is located at the top right hand corner of the Certificate of Incorporation, Amalgamation, Continuation or Change of Name previously sent out to the company.   It is also printed on the Annual Report reminder that is sent to the company each year.  These documents are stored at the company's records office.   

Business Number

Your Business Number would be displayed as a 15 character identifier, for example: 82123 5679 RC 0001 on any document received from the Canada Revenue Agency.  The first nine numbers uniquely identify your business - it's those numbers we need.

info  If you have a BC OnLine account, you can find the incorporation number and business number by searching the list of corporate names on the register.

 

Step 2

Select how you want to create the company password
 

Select option [a] to create your own password

To create a password for a company, you must have an access code.

If you have received a paper copy of the Annual Report Reminder the company's access code is located in Box C.  If you have received an Annual Report Reminder in an email the company's access code is displayed in the message.

If you have requested a reminder,  it is sent to the company in advance of its anniversary date.   

You can use ANY access code from past Annual Report reminders.  

info

Law firms that have BC OnLine accounts do not require an Access Code to set the password for a company.

 

Select option [b] to have a password generated and mailed to company

Select this option if you do not have an access code.  The company password will be mailed to the company's registered office address.
