LEH - need to prove residency

[bogtrotter]

So my youngest is a modern kid - no Driver's license or other proof of address. He has lived in BC all his life. LEH is asking him for residency proof. Does anyone out there have experience in solving the BC residency issue to the LEH people ?

Thanks,

BC Medical card or social insurance number.

Even a modern kid should get a BC ID card.

Answer the question, advising illegal acts or ignorant opinions are not needed!

Yup, get a BC ID Card.

BC Medical card or social insurance number.

Quoted for accuracy here. When I had to do this for my kids this is what I was told as acceptable proof.

The residency requirement is a reoccurring thing every 3yrs i believe, good thing to check up on every now and again as it will tell you your expiry date in advance..
Government issued ID, take a picture and upload.

Will likely be some last minute disappointed LEH applicants again this year who will find out their residency has expired

Don't quote me on this, but I think I just sent a copy of my license for my daughter who was 10 at the time. If I was a resident it was good enough for them to assume she was as well. If my memory serves me correct.

BC Hunting has this document about acceptable identification (https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/gov/sports-recreation-arts-and-culture/outdoor-recreation/fishing-and-hunting/hunting/job-aids/summary_of_acceptable_documentation.pdf) and proof of residency.

The usual ID (drivers license or BC ID) must be at least 6 months old.

NOTE: Hunters under 18 years of age can use documentation from a parent or legal guardian to prove
residency or claim residency exemption.
