Apply for a new, reinstated, or renewed licence without retyping business details

Businesses and professionals applying for Ontario licences or registrations repeat legal name, business address, authorized contact information, and licence identifiers on every new, reinstatement, or renewal application. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

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

• Form (Central Forms Repository): Application for Licence or Registration New, Reinstatement or Renewal — 045-06538

What this form is about
