How to tell you’re not on a government website
Official government websites like ServiceOntario.ca will display these logos
Only government-authorized websites and partners have the right to use these.
You are buying from a third-party company and not ServiceOntario if you see a statement something like this
- We are not a government agency
- We are not affiliated with any government agency
- We are a private company
Third-party companies must have a statement on their website clearly identifying that they are not affiliated with the government. You can usually find these statements on the home page, about us page, or the terms and conditions page.
