Transport Canada TDG Client Identification Database Registration

Transport Canada has introduced a new registration process called the Client Identification Database (CID), aimed at individuals and organizations involved in the Transportation of Dangerous Goods (TDG).

If your business deals with dangerous goods, it’s crucial to determine whether you need to register. You can do so by taking a quick survey here.

Registration Deadline: October 25, 2024
All qualifying organizations must complete their registration by this date.

The CID collects important information about DG-related activities, helping Transport Canada to assess risks, improve safety, and ensure efficient communication with registered organizations.

Transport Canada has developed several resources to help businesses understand and navigate the CID registration process. Below are key resources and guides:
