How to Change Your Address on a Canadian Driver’s License
Moving homes? It's important to update your driver’s license address to avoid fines and ensure legal compliance.
Steps to Change Your Address
Online: Most provinces allow you to do this online (e.g., ServiceOntario)
In-person: Bring proof of address like a utility bill
By mail: Some rural areas still accept written requests
Why It Matters Wrong addresses can lead to missed renewal notices or license suspensions. Also, your insurance rates are tied to your address.
Log into your province’s driving portal regularly to ensure your details are current.
