How to get your Class 4 licence

If you want to drive for a ride-hailing company, you’ll need a full (non-learner’s) Class 4 driver’s licence.

What are the Class 4 licence requirements?

• A full-privilege B.C. driver’s licence (Class 5 or 6) or an out-of-province equivalent

• Must be 19 years of age or older

• Must have a minimum of two years of non-learner driving experience

• A driving record with less than four penalty point incidents in the past two years

• No driving-related criminal convictions within the past three years

• Any fines and debts owed to ICBC must be paid

Steps to getting your Class 4 licence

First, you’ll need to get your Class 4 learner’s licence. You’ll need to:

- Pass a knowledge test

- Have a vision test (at the Driver Licensing Office)

- Disclose any medical conditions or physical disabilities that may affect

your driving

• Based on the information provided at the time of your application,

a driver’s medical exam report may be required

• If no known medical conditions exist, you will be issued a medical exam

report at the road test, to complete and submit after that appointment

• Note: The existence of a medical condition does not necessarily mean

you will be ineligible for a commercial licence

Visit icbc.com and book an appointment to start your learner licence

application. Visit an ICBC Driver Licensing office and bring with you:

• Accepted primary and secondary ID

• Any glasses or contacts you need for the vision screening

• Payment for the knowledge test ($15)

• If you moved from another province or country less than three years ago,

bring your three-year driving record

When you’re ready to get your full Class 4 licence, you’ll need to:

- Pass a Class 4 road test, including a pre-trip inspection test

- Provide your driver’s medical exam (fee set by your doctor) after the

road test

Upon passing your road test, you’ll then hold a full Class 4 licence and can drive for a ride-hailing company.

What to bring for your Class 4 road test

Along with your accepted ID and any glasses or contacts you need for your road test, please bring:

• Payment for the road test ($40), commercial medical processing fee ($28), and fee for replacing your current

licence with a Class 4 credential ($17 or $75 for new licence if current expiry date is within 6 months)

• Your current licence and your commercial learner’s licence

• A safe, reliable vehicle* for your road test

*If you pass your test using a vehicle with a seating capacity of up to 10 (including the driver), you will receive

a restricted Class 4 licence (the minimum required for ride-hailing). If you pass your test using a vehicle

with seating for 11-25, an unrestricted Class 4 licence will be granted.

What vehicles can Class 3 drive?

A Class 3 licence allows you to drive motor cars of unladen weight not exceeding 3000 kg with not more than 7 passengers, exclusive of the driver. It includes motor tractors and other motor vehicles of unladen weight not exceeding 2500 kg.

With a BC Class 2 commercial licence, you can drive any large buses, including city buses, special activity buses, school buses and special vehicles. When you hold a Class 2 license, you can also operate any vehicle from Class 4 and Class 5. Anyone who wishes to obtain a Class 2 commercial license must be 19 years or older.
