==Step 1: Get your society’s Registry Key== | |||
In November 2016, each society should have received by regular mail an onboarding letter from the Corporate Registry. This letter included a '''Registry Key''' that is unique for your society. | |||
You need to input this one-time Registry Key to access your society’s information in the Societies Online system. Once you input the one-time Key, you will be prompted to change your society’s Registry Key. (You will need to provide the updated Registry Key to anyone else who is responsible for completing filings on behalf of the society.) | |||

| text = Once you input the Registry Key for your society in the Societies Online system, you become affiliated with that society. When you next login to Societies Online, you will go directly to your society’s “dashboard” in the system. | |||

==Step 2: Get yourself a Basic BCeID== | |||
The BC government has an online service called BCeID that allows you to use one user ID and password to sign in securely to various government services. To file a transition application, you need your own '''BCeID account'''. A BCeID is different from the Registry Key. The Registry Key belongs to the society. A BCeID belongs to an individual. | |||
There are three different kinds of BCeID accounts: Basic, Personal, and Business. To file a transition application, you need a '''Basic BCeID account''', which does not require verification of your identity in person (unlike the Personal BCeID account). | |||
You can obtain the Basic BCeID for free in a few minutes online: | |||
* Go to the [https://www.bceid.ca/register/basic/account_details.aspx?type=regular Basic BCeID Registration Page]. | |||
* Provide the requested contact information and choose a User ID and password. | |||
An email will be sent to the email address you provided confirming that you have registered a Basic BCeID account. | |||
==Step 3. File the transition application== | |||
These slides walk you through the process to file the transition application on [https://www.bcregistry.ca/societies/ Societies Online]. | |||
