Automatic license plate renewal coming to Ontario

CHCH News has learned that Ontario will move to an automatic license plate renewal system.

Under the automatic renewal system, drivers would no longer have to manually renew their passenger vehicle licence plates.

The plan is tentatively set to begin on July 1.

If your plates are clean with no outstanding fines or tolls, they will be automatically renewed 90 days before their expiry date at no charge.

However, you will be notified either online or by mail if there are outstanding fines or tolls. If that’s the case, you would then have to manually renew online or visit a Service Ontario centre in person.

Transportation Minister Prabmeet Sakaria is slated to visit Waterdown on Wednesday, where he’s expected to unveil the plan alongside the province’s Business Service Delivery Minister, Todd McCarthy, and unveil the plan.
