The Ontario government is making life easier for over eight million drivers by introducing automatic license plate renewals, starting yesterday (July 1st). This will save vehicle owners more than 900,000 hours every year.
License plates for passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks, motorcycles, and mopeds will automatically renew 90 days before they expire if the owner has valid insurance and no outstanding fines or tolls. If a license plate can’t be renewed automatically, the owner will be notified and must renew online or in person at ServiceOntario.
Until automatic renewals start, vehicle owners must manually renew their plates at no cost. Ontarians can check their license plate status at ontario.ca/platerenewal.
