How to register a vehicle in Ontario — and autofill your details with my-id.ca
Register a vehicle without retyping your personal details
Registering a vehicle in Ontario requires your full name, address, and licence details alongside vehicle-specific information. This guide is an example of storing the repeating personal fields in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official ServiceOntario source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:
- Service page: Register a vehicle permit and licence plate — ontario.ca
What this form is about
A vehicle permit registers a motor vehicle to an owner in Ontario, linking the vehicle's VIN to the owner's name and address on the provincial database.
Before you start: what to gather
- Your name, address, and driver's licence number.
- Vehicle details: VIN, make, model, year, colour.
- Supporting documents: bill of sale, safety standards certificate, and current permit if transferring ownership.
Confirm required documents and fees on ontario.ca.
