BC Road Test Documents: ID, Payment and Vehicle Requirements

Bring the correct paperwork to your ICBC road test. Missing documents cause immediate cancellation.

Extra Rules for a Class 7 Road-Test Candidate

Class 7 candidates also need to meet the GLP eligibility rules.

• Practice hours: ICBC recommends about 60 hours of supervised practice. You do not need to submit a mandatory 60-hour total or sign a 60-hour declaration for the Class 7 road test.
• Approved training: If you completed an ICBC-approved GLP course, keep your course information available, but do not treat a practice log as a required road-test document.
• Supervisor: A Class 7L driver must arrive and drive under the current supervision rules. See the dedicated Supervisor Requirements page for the full qualifications.

Do You Need Proof of 60 Practice Hours for the Class 7 Road Test?

No. ICBC recommends about 60 hours of supervised practice, but you do not have to submit a mandatory 60-hour log or declaration as a road-test document.

Do You Need to Bring a GLP Driver-Training Certificate to the Class 7 Road Test?

Not every Class 7 candidate needs a course certificate because approved driver training is optional. If you completed an approved course and need proof of completion for a specific licensing benefit, confirm that the course has been properly recorded and bring any documentation ICBC or the school tells you is required.

What Happens If You Forget a Document

If you are missing required ID or vehicle paperwork, ICBC may be unable to start the test and you may have to rebook. Required corrective lenses or other licence conditions must also be followed.

For vehicle-specific rejection reasons, warning lights and safety defects, use the dedicated Vehicle Requirements page rather than duplicating the full checklist here.

Do You Need Two Pieces of ID for an ICBC Road Test?

Yes. ICBC currently requires one accepted primary ID and one accepted secondary ID at a road test.

Do you need to know the vehicle's licence-plate number at road-test check-in? Yes. ICBC tells candidates to provide the vehicle's plate number at the counter.

Can a certified true copy be used as accepted ID at ICBC? ICBC accepts an original identification document or a true copy certified by the government agency that issued the document.

What Else Should You Check Before Your BC Road Test?

Check your licence for any conditions such as required corrective lenses and follow them on test day. Class 7L candidates must also arrive under the current supervisor rules.

• Class 7 road test: $35.
• Class 5 stage: Check the current GLP pathway before assuming a second road test is required; the update above explains the transition.
• Other licence fees: Check the dedicated fee page for the amount that applies to your transaction.
