To coincide with the full launch of online auto insurance renewals, BC drivers from May 1 onwards will no longer be required to display a licence plate validation decal on their vehicle licence plate.
BC vehicle owners have the choice to leave their current decal on their licence plate or remove it on May 1.
While May 1 is the official launch date of online insurance, more than 3,000 ICBC customers have already renewed their personal auto insurance policies online, the agency says.
Vehicle insurance can be renewed up to 44 days before a policy expires.
ICBC said the majority of customers completed their online transaction in less than 10 minutes.
ICBC also said a survey it conducted found that 73% of respondents are likely to renew their Autoplan insurance online after watching a demonstration video outlining the online renewal process.
Approximately 50,000 customers have visited icbc.com to learn more about online renewals so far, the agency added.
