Is car registration (and license plate) renewal included when I renew my ICBC insurance?
I recently moved here from Australia where registration and insurance are renewed separately.
I just renewed my ICBC insurance, but I don't get a clear answer when I try to google "BC car registration rewnewal" I saw a link to BCAA which appears to talk about insurance renewal.
I realize this may seem like a stupid question but hopefully I'm not the only one who has gone through this confusion.
Surprisingly, I cannot seem to find this very basic information online. When you register a car in BC, how long does your car's registration last for before you have to renew it? Are there any type of ongoing inspections, like safety inspections, VIN inspections or emissions testing?
For example, in Oregon, we had to get our registration renewed every 2-3 years depending on what type of car it was. To renew, you had to pass an emissions test. What is the equivalent in BC?
