Here's why you need to renew your licence plate even though stickers are no longer required
Licence plate stickers are a thing of the past, but police want motorists to know they still need to renew their licence plates.
Renewing licence plates can be done online for free and require:
- licence plate number
- vehicle permit number
- insurance company name and policy number
- odometer reading
Renewals can also be done in person at Service Ontario centres.
WHY DO I NEED TO RENEW
Vehicle owners will no longer receive a sticker or have to pay renewal fees. Still, the Ministry of Transportation requires licence plates to be renewed every one to two years to ensure insurance is valid and there are no outstanding fees or fines.
"Law enforcement will be instantly aware your licence plate has been renewed," the ministry's website states.
STICKER REFUNDS
Vehicle owners who paid to renew licence plate stickers between March 1, 2020, and March 12, 2022, should have received a refund.
