For BCeID and BC Services Card: it will take 10 minutes to configure the dev and test environments. The production environment requires Provincial Identity Information Management (IDIM) approvals and may take longer. Based on your app security needs, we recommend one request with us for each of your apps. To learn more, contact the IDIM team.
