Switch your red and white health card to a photo card, faster

Switching an older red and white health card to a photo card means completing a re-registration form and proving who you are again. This guide is an example of preparing those details once in hivi so the form fills quickly.

Official form and source

Start from the official ServiceOntario source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

• Service page: Switch to a photo health card — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Health Card Re-Registration — 014-4311-82

What this form is about

The re-registration form moves your existing Ontario health coverage onto a photo card. It confirms your identity, residency, and existing health number.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your full legal name and date of birth.
• Your current Ontario address.
• Your existing health number.
• Three original documents proving citizenship/immigration status, identity, and Ontario residency (confirm the current list on ontario.ca).

How hivi makes it faster

1. Save it once. Store your name, date of birth, address, and health number in hivi.
2. Keep proof ready. Upload your three supporting documents to hivi Files.
3. Autofill the form. Fill it from your saved profile inside hivi, or use the hivi Chrome extension on a web form.
4. Finish at ServiceOntario. Review and complete the switch in person with your documents.

Why do it in hivi

This is a one-time switch, but the same identity, address, and health number power your renewals and many other Ontario forms. Captured once in hivi — stored in Canada, with self-hosted AI — they make the next form faster too.
