Who can use a provincial partner
To register with this option, you must have:
-
An account with one of our provincial partners:
- BC Services Card
- Alberta.ca Account
-
A social insurance number (SIN) to validate your identity the first time you sign in
If you do not have a SIN
If you don't have a SIN, we will also accept:
- A temporary tax number(TTN)
- An individual tax number (ITN)
Registering with a provincial partner allows you to get immediate access to your CRA account with the same credentials you already own. You will not need to use the document verification service or a CRA security code to verify your identity.
You can register with your provincial partner even if you have not filed your taxes in the last 2 years.
If you use a BC Services Card, you will not be required to enroll in multi-factor authentication (MFA).
