Renewal/Expired Card Applicants
If you have had an Access 2 card at any time in the past, you are a Renewal Card applicant. We recommend renewing your card a month in advance. If your card has already expired, that is OK. You are still considered a renewal applicant.
To renew, you have 2 options – paying online or paying via cheque or money order. Paying online is highly recommended – as you will receive your card much faster.
If Paying Online (Credit Card, Visa/Mastercard Debit, PayPal)
Paying online is the fastest way to renew your card. If paying online for a renewal, you do not need to send in any paperwork.
Simply:
- Click the “Pay Online” button.
- Choose the 3-year card or 5-year card option by selecting the card quantity you wish to purchase. Please note: only one card is permitted per applicant.
- Click the “Add To Cart” button.
- Click the “Checkout” button.
- The first screen titled “Purchaser Information” requests the cardholder’s information.
- Click the “Continue” button.
- The next screen titled “Access 2 Card Applicant Details” requests the applicant (person with the permanent disability)’s information. The purchaser’s information will be automatically input under the Access 2 cardholder’s information on the next screen. If the purchaser and Access 2 cardholder are different, please manually delete and input the cardholder’s name and date of birth on the correct screen. Under “Card Type” please select Renewal Card.
- Click the “Continue” button.
- For the “Payment Details” page, please enter: the credit cardholder’s name, credit card number, expiry date and CVV Number/Card Security Code.
- Click the “Continue” button.
- The next page will ask you to review that the information provided is correct. The purchaser’s information will only be shown.
- You will receive a payment confirmation code (ESC-#########) when you are finished. A receipt will be emailed to you within 5 minutes.
- Your card will be delivered within 4 weeks (if already expired) or within one month of your previous card’s expiry date (if your card has not yet expired).
If Paying With a Cheque or Money Order
If you are not paying online, you must fill out sections B and D of the application form and submit them by mail with a cheque or money order. For a renewal, you do not have to submit Section C (health care professional authorization).
Simply:
- Click the “Application Form” button to download the application form.
- Complete “Section B – Applicant Information” (ensuring to check off the “Renewal/Expired Card” box).
- Complete “Section D – Administration Fee Payment”.
- Submit your application and payment together by mail. Please see the application form for the mailing address.
- Include a self-addressed, stamped return envelope (for delivery of your card).
