A driver’s licence
Use the local licensing authority’s instructions for renewal, testing or replacement. A city parking office is a different service.
Driving & vehicles
Choose the province or territory before following a licensing route. Regional guides cover reviewed licensing routes across Canada. Every regional page also links to the appropriate official driving gateway for that jurisdiction.

A vehicle record
Licence plates and vehicle registration are separate from the driver’s licence itself.
Moving between jurisdictions
Read the destination jurisdiction’s instructions; do not apply Ontario rules to another province or territory.
