The province is reinstating renewal requirements for driver’s licences, licence plate stickers and health cards that would have expired since the pandemic hit.
The government had paused the need for renewals over the past year and a half.
Minister of Transportation Caroline Mulroney says the renewal deadlines have been extended until February 28, 2022, to give residents time to catch up.
Heavy commercial vehicle owners will need to renew their vehicle validations by December 31, 2021.
Novice licence holders (class G1, G2, M1 or M2) will have until December 31, 2022, to requalify for or upgrade their novice driver’s licence.
People who have not renewed their products during the Extended Validity period will be required to pay the fee for previous years, in addition to the current year renewal fee.
Those who need to renew their provincial documents can now do so using Service Ontario’s online options.
