Save time and money on automated licence plate renewal. No more lineups.
One less expense and hassle to worry about.
Beginning this month the automated licence plate renewal is set to take effect across the province.
Licence plates for passenger vehicles, light-duty trucks, motorcycles and mopeds will renew automatically 90 days before expiry if the vehicle owner has valid insurance and no outstanding fines or tolls, according to the Ontario government.
If there are outstanding tickets or fines, that person must pay them before the licence plate renewal process can begin. If a vehicle owner’s licence plate cannot be automatically renewed, that person will be notified and required to manually renew online or in person at ServiceOntario.
Transportation officials said the move will save vehicle owners more than 900,000 hours annually.

The Ford government scrapped the annual renewal fee for licence plate stickers in 2022. Renewing driver’s licence stickers was previously $60 in northern Ontario and $120 in southern Ontario.
The province said they eliminated licence plate sticker fees for passenger vehicles, saving drivers $120 a year for every car they own and are now saving drivers valuable time and making their lives easier by automatically renewing licence plates.
