Transfer or replace a licence plate without retyping your details

Requesting a licence plate transfer or replacement in Ontario repeats your name, address, and driver's licence details. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.

Official form and source

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

• Service page (transfer / new vehicle): Register a vehicle permit and licence plate — ontario.ca
• Service page (replacement — lost, stolen, damaged): Replace a lost, stolen or damaged licence plate — ontario.ca

What this form is about

A licence plate transfer moves a plate from one vehicle to another (typically when you buy a new vehicle). A replacement is issued when a plate is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your name, address, and driver's licence number.
• Current plate number and the vehicle permit for the receiving vehicle.
• Any police report reference if the plate was stolen.

Confirm required documents and any fees on ontario.ca.
