 Welcome to the first-time access tutorial for Angling Guide Reporting in the province of BC. In this 3-minute video, we will cover the 4-step process to get you logged in to the Angling Guide Reporting site for your first time. We will cover two of the most common issues that new users experience. Please check out our video, Troubleshooting Access, if you are a returning user to the site and you are experiencing issues logging back in. The first step is registering a free BCE ID account. A BCE ID account is required to enable you to log in to the Angling Guide Reporting site and is available at www.bceid.ca. Simply follow the prompts on the BCE ID website and remember to write down and save in a secure location both your account username and password as well as the answers to your security questions. We recommend also recording the date that you registered for your account as you will need this information to renew your password two years from your original registration date. Your BCE ID account will require password renewal every two years to remain active and permit you access to a reporting site. Simply return to www.bceid.ca to renew your password at or before this two-year interval. The second step is visiting the Frontcounter BCE website. The Angling Guide License Information page provides you with a link to the Angling Guide Reporting site. It is found under the links section, section 6, here. Click on the hyperlink. The first hyperlink titled Angling Guide Reporting website is the link you will need to click to access the login screen for the reporting site. Click this link. Since it is your first time accessing the reporting site, you will be prompted for your BCE ID username and password. A login box will appear in the middle of your screen. For your username, you must enter BCEID backslash before entering your username. This prefix tells our website that you are a registered BCEID user and that it should look in this database to match your username to your current account password. You will not gain access to the site unless you type BCEID backslash preceding your BCEID username. Your username is not case sensitive. However, the password field is. This is the screen you will see next. It is the third step in this process and it entails requesting access to the site. Access was denied because the site has not yet associated your BCEID credentials with being a user on the site. Below the access denied message, you will see in small font a hyperlink that reads Request Access. Click on the Request Access hyperlink. We do not need you to fill in the text. Simply click the Send Request button. The screen will confirm that you have sent your request. Granting access to new users is a manual process conducted by our team. You can expect that your request will be granted within one to two business days, in most cases. You will receive a welcome email at the email address that you specified with your BCEID account registration. Our welcome email will confirm that you have been added to the site as a user and it will contain a hyperlink that will take you directly to the reporting site. Your fourth and final step in accessing the reporting site is to click on the hyperlink to the reporting site in the welcome email. Doing so will open up the same familiar login box that you were greeted with at step two in this process. You will enter your BCEID credentials exactly as you did before using the BCEID backslash before your username and simply entering your password and clicking OK. You are now in the reporting site. Congratulations! Please proceed to completing your Angling Guide report. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please contact us at anglingguidereporting.gov.bc.ca.
