Apply for an Ontario Photo Card without retyping your details

The Ontario Photo Card gives government ID to residents who do not drive — and the application asks for the same identity details you give on every official form. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi so the application 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: Ontario Photo Card — ontario.ca
• Form (Central Forms Repository): Application for Ontario Photo Card — SR-LD-049

What this form is about

The application identifies you so ServiceOntario can issue a wallet-sized photo ID. It confirms your legal name, date of birth, and address.

Before you start: what to gather

• Your full legal name and date of birth.
• Your current Ontario address.
• Original identity documents proving your name and date of birth (confirm the current list on ontario.ca).

How hivi makes it faster

1. Save it once. Store your name, date of birth, and address in your hivi profile.
2. Keep proof ready. Upload your identity documents to hivi Files.
3. Autofill the application. Use the hivi Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside hivi.
4. Apply yourself in person at ServiceOntario.

Why do it in hivi

Your name, date of birth, and address are asked for on nearly every Ontario form. Captured once in hivi — stored in Canada, with self-hosted AI — the Photo Card application and its future renewal start mostly filled.
