New residents

New Ontario residents have 30 days to register their vehicles. To get a vehicle permit and Ontario license plates, go to a Driver and Vehicle License Issuing Office. You must bring along:

* A Safety Standards Certificate

* Proof of insurance

* A Vehicle Import Form 1 if you have brought the vehicle in from another country

* The vehicle permit, or ownership, from where you used to live.

* A Drive Clean Vehicle Emissions Pass Report may be required if the vehicle is being registered as “fit” in the Drive Clean program area. Current and future model year vehicles are exempt and light duty vehicles older than 1988 are exempt starting in 2007.
