Once you hold a full G licence, Ontario driver’s licences are typically renewed every 5 years by mail, online, or at a ServiceOntario centre — a reminder is usually mailed before expiry. A photo is required periodically.
If your licence expires:
- Renewed shortly after expiry: usually a straightforward renewal.
- Expired for longer: rules depend on how long it’s been expired and which stage (G1/G2/G) you were at — check current requirements before assuming you can simply renew.
Lost, stolen, or damaged licence: you can request a replacement through ServiceOntario online, by mail, or in person; a fee applies.
Exact timelines, fees, and ID requirements change, so confirm current details at ontario.ca or your nearest ServiceOntario centre rather than relying on this summary.
