McGuinty Government Ensuring Proper Measures In Place
The province has recently learned of misuse of the Online Driver’s Licence Address Change service.
As a result, the government has temporarily disabled the online address change function and has launched an investigation.
Ontarians who need to change their Driver Licence address may still go to their nearest ServiceOntario counter or a conveniently located ServiceOntario kiosk.
All other online services remain unaffected.
QUICK FACTS
- During the past fiscal year, more than 260,000 driver licence address change transactions were completed using the popular and convenient Online Address Change service that is available at no cost to users.
