Update your address with Ontario services
How do I change my address with Ontario services?
Ontario's address-change hub maps a move to the records that may need updating, including a driver's licence, vehicle permit and health card. Different products have different rules and deadlines. Use the official instructions for each one rather than assuming a single transaction updates every government service. The hub also explains when an in-person step is needed.
Where to begin
- List the Ontario products and services you hold.
- Check each product's official update method and deadline.
- Complete the required updates and any document-exchange steps.
Before you open the official service
Have the complete new address and the product information requested by ServiceOntario ready.
- Online driving-record updates need the licence or registrant number and licence issue date. Health-card updates have their own identity fields.
- A health card with an address printed on it must be updated in person. Moving into Ontario may require a licence transfer or new coverage application instead.
Keep your actual documents and account details off this website. Use the official service’s current checklist before applying.
What to check for your situation
An Ontario update does not replace CRA or other separate address changes. The official page identifies product-specific limits and follow-up steps.
Fees, processing times and document rules can change. This page helps you navigate; it does not confirm eligibility or replace the government’s instructions.
Practical questions
What does this route cost?
The listed address updates are free.
- A vehicle-permit replacement fee may apply if you do not bring the existing permit.
How long can this route take?
Update an Ontario driver’s licence and vehicle permit within six days of moving; update a health-card address within 30 days.
- A new driver’s licence or Ontario Photo Card is mailed in four to six weeks. Exchange the vehicle permit in person.
