Changing your name or address

You must tell the Ministry of Transportation within six days of changing your name or address.

You will need a new license when you change your address. You can change your address on the Service Ontario website at www.serviceontario.ca or you can take the change of information to a Driver and Vehicle License Issuing Office, or mail it to the Ministry of Transportation, P.O. Box 9200, Kingston, ON, K7L 5K4. The ministry will send you a new license. When you get it, destroy your old license and carry the new one with you whenever you drive.

When your name changes you need a new license. Take the documents you must show and your current license to a Driver and Vehicle License Issuing Office. A new photograph will be taken. You will get a temporary license to use until your permanent license is mailed to you. Carry it with you whenever you drive.

There is no charge for getting a new license because you change your name or address.

The chart on this page shows the documents you will need to change the name on your driver’s license.
