If your ring does not fit your finger, you may exchange the ring. You can request a ring exchange or replacement and paying a fee here. If you have lost your ring, you may replace it. The fees are:
Ring Exchange: $10
Ring Replacement (lost): $40
Ring exchanges would require returning your ring before receiving a new one.
Please review important instructions below before submitting a request.
- A ring exchange or replacement is available only to obligants who initially obtained their ring from Camp 5.
- Obligants who obtained their rings from other camps not based in the Lower Mainland, BC should contact their home camp. If you are not sure of your home camp, you may look it up at https://ironring.ca/contacts-en/.
- Obligants who obtained their rings from other camps but exchanged or replaced their ring earlier with Camp 5 are now asked to contact their home camp for any future request.
- Requests submitted by obligants who obtained their rings from other camps will not be processed. Obligants would be notified after the request is reviewed. In addition, a fee of $10 will be charged. This means that no refund would be given for a ring exchange request but a net $30 refund would be given for a ring replacement request.
- No refund will be given for any error made on the ring size in a request. To exchange the ring, a new request would need to be submitted, along with a new payment. Please see our FAQ page for guidelines on sizing your ring.
- A free ring exchange is available to new obligants. However, the request must be submitted within 30 days from the day of the obligation ceremony when they receive their ring. The free ring exchange is one-time only.
- Processing of a request will take several weeks. Requests are not processed daily. We would not be able to meet urgent requests.
- Providing as much of your obligation information as you can would help facilitate the processing. The information include your obligation number, year of obligation, the educational institution where you graduated from, and your engineering discipline (civil, electrical, etc.). Very importantly, please use the same first name and last name that you used for the registration for your initial iron ring. Please note that your obligation record is not linked to the licence number with Engineers and Geoscientists of BC.
- For a ring replacement, please also provide a reason and some details for the request (for example, “The ring was loose on my finger; last Thursday June 4, it came off when I took off my glove, and I saw it fell into the ocean.”). If you have your ring replaced before, please indicate the year(s) of the previous replacement(s).
