在安大略更新車牌 To renew licence plate in Ontario

“Ontario drivers no longer need to pay to renew their licence plates with an annual sticker, though your plates still need to be renewed – or you could be fined heavily.

Below, we’ll cover everything you need to know about renewing your licence plate in Ontario in 2022.

Do I need to renew my licence plate sticker in Ontario?

Yes, except there’s no longer a sticker (or a fee) involved.

According to the Ontario Government, your vehicle must have a valid licence plate and be insured to drive legally in this province. (Before the new rules came into force), most drivers were used to renewing their licence plates by applying a new sticker every 1 to 2 years.

Part of renewing your licence plate involves connecting your insurance coverage to the plated vehicle. To renew your licence plate, you need to provide your insurance company your name and policy number. This information is tied to your vehicle’s licence plate, and helps law enforcement to quickly verify that a vehicle has valid insurance coverage.
This is still a requirement in Ontario today, though the annual or bi-annual licence plate sticker has been eliminated, and the renewal fees have been removed.

How do I renew my Ontario licence plate?

Renewing your licence plate can be done online in about 2 minutes by visiting the Ontario license renewal website here.

Remember, you’re renewing your plate, not your sticker. Licence plate stickers in Ontario are now obsolete on passenger vehicles. So, you’ll no longer receive a sticker to fix to your licence plate, and you’ll no longer need to pay a plate renewal fee.

To renew using the online interface, you’ll need your licence plate number, vehicle permit number (look for bolded text near your signature on the lower back portion of the green ‘ownership’ slip), your insurance company name and policy number, and your car’s odometer reading.

Ensure all outstanding tickets, tolls, and other fees are paid before renewing

Before renewing, you’ll also have to pay any defaulted fines, tolls or fees that may be applicable. Once you’ve updated your licence plates online, law enforcement databases are updated instantly so police will be aware immediately once your plate is renewed.

Remember: if you’re renewing the plate on a passenger vehicle, light-duty truck, motorcycle or moped, there’s no fee and no sticker involved – just a 2-minute visit to a quick and easy web interface.

Plates can be renewed up to 180 days before they expire, typically on your birthday.

Can I renew my Ontario license plate sticker online & is there an HST charge?

Yes, and you should. The process is simple, fast and easy, and you don’t even have to leave your house. This saves you time and money and basically makes you a genius. Just visit the Ontario licence renewal page (we linked to it above) with proper documentation in hand, and you’ll have a confirmation email in a matter of minutes.

Don’t wait for a new plate sticker in the mail though, as you won’t receive one. By the way, you can remove old stickers from your plate if you like, but you don’t have to.
If you’d prefer to renew your licence plate in person, you’ll need to visit a Service Ontario location. You can search for a location near you, as well as its hours of operation, here at the ServiceOntario page".
