Becoming an OrgBook BC issuer

As a public sector organization, you might hold or use information about BC organizations that benefits citizens, other organizations, and your teams. Alternatively, maybe you issue permits or licenses, or authorize the holding of information, or notify the public when certain processes are completed.

Whatever the situation, as long as you’re a public sector organization, you should consider becoming an OrgBook BC Issuer: an organization that provides—“issues”—their BC organization-related data to OrgBook BC.
