Now you can renew your licences online

Minister of Government Services John Milloy
News Release

***********

Ontario is now allowing drivers to renew their licences online ¬— the first province in Canada to do so.

Ontario drivers need to renew their licences every five years. Now, eligible drivers who renew online at ServiceOntario.ca/DriversLicence will be able to use their existing licence photos for an additional five-year renewal cycle, meaning they will only need to renew in person every ten years.

When drivers renew their licences online, they can also get licence plate stickers, driver abstracts and other driver and vehicle products in the same transaction.

Offering more online services is part of the Ontario government’s plan to help people in their everyday lives and make it easier for them to access important government services, when and where they need them.
