Assists underserved clients in accessing and applying for various forms of identification, which are necessary to obtain vital services and supports such as housing, health care, income security, and other social services.
The Greater Victoria Coordinated Identification Service offers client-based, pro-active, and respectful ID services for underserved populations. In partnership with local community organizations, they have established a coordinated regional effort to increase access to services in acquiring or storing ID through weekly drop-in clinics, or by contacting the staff directly.

- Booking ICBC appointments
- Mailing Address for applicants
Assistance is NOT provided for:

When referring clients to these services, ensure that the applicant is present so that as much information as possible can be gathered and the process can be fast-tracked. Staff will contact either the referrer or the applicant to follow up with any necessary steps.
