myID business account

Businesses can use a myID business account to access City online services like assessment, permitting, approval and licensing services.

Please note, customers who register a new business online will automatically have a myID business administrator account created as part of the application process.

Visit myID business account FAQs.

• To get a business license or ID number, if you don't have one, you can apply on the "start a business" website.
• When you apply, you'll need to set up a myID account. Later, you can choose to use this myID as your Business Administrator during the application.
• You also need an email address that is registered with The City for your business. If you need to change this email address, send an email to businessregistry@calgary.ca with your new email and Business ID. They might contact you to confirm your details before making the change.
