We develop the mode-matching regularization scheme particularly suitable for problems in a uniform magnetic field. We apply this regularization scheme to bare QED vacuum in (2+1) dimensions. This regularization scheme gives the exact renormalization of the bare QED vacuum and establishes its diamagnetic nature.
