How to apply for or renew an Ontario driver's licence — and autofill it with my-id.ca
Apply for or renew an Ontario driver's licence without retyping
Whether it is a first licence, a renewal, or an address change, the driver's licence application asks for the same identity and contact details each time. This guide is an example of storing them once in my-id.ca so the form fills in seconds.
Official form and source
Start from the official ServiceOntario source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:
- Service page: Renew your driver's licence — ontario.ca
- Form (Central Forms Repository): Application for Ontario Driver's Licence — 023-SR-LD-054
What this form is about
The application identifies you to the Ministry of Transportation and links the licence to your identity and address. The same core details apply whether you are a new applicant or renewing.
Before you start: what to gather
- Your full legal name and date of birth.
- Your current address.
- Your existing driver's licence number (for renewals or changes).
- Identity documents (confirm the current list on ontario.ca).
