Renew an Ontario driver's licence
How do I renew my Ontario driver’s licence?
ServiceOntario explains when a driver's licence can be renewed online and when an in-person visit is needed. Recent address changes, photo requirements and other conditions can affect the available route. Read the eligibility checklist before starting, and follow any instructions for a temporary validation document while waiting for the replacement card.
Where to begin
- Read the official online-renewal eligibility checklist.
- Choose online renewal or a ServiceOntario visit as directed.
- Save any required temporary document and follow the delivery instructions.
Before you open the official service
For an eligible online renewal, prepare:
- Licence number and seven-digit trillium number from its reverse.
- Postal code.
- Health card, if renewing it at the same time.
Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.
