Is there a charge for using the online moving request form?
As noted in the form, there is an application fee when transferring an account or opening a new account. This fee will appear on your first bill. There is no extra charge for using the online moving request form.
What type of identification do I need?
If you're a residential customer, you'll need to provide either a driver's licence number, BC identification number or passport number. The account holder's birthdate is also required.
Business customers need to provide their business identification number.
What is the difference between a residential and business account?
