How to renew your Ontario vehicle registration — and autofill your details with my-id.ca
Keep your vehicle registration current without retyping your owner details
Ontario vehicle registration — whether renewing, updating an address, or confirming coverage — uses the same owner name and address you've entered on every ServiceOntario form. This guide is an example of storing those repeating fields in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official ServiceOntario source and always use the current version — registration rules can change:
- Service page: Licence plate renewals — ontario.ca
What this process is about
Ontario vehicle registration links your licence plate to your name, address, and valid insurance. Many passenger vehicles now renew automatically — but you still need to update your registration when you move, change vehicles, or when automatic renewal conditions are not met.
Before you start: what to gather
- Your name and current address.
- Your licence plate number and vehicle details.
- Valid vehicle insurance — registration requires proof of current coverage.
Confirm current renewal rules and any address change requirements on ontario.ca.
