Get ServiceOntario digital reminders

Overview

Go paperless with digital reminders. They are a free, simple and fast way to get notified when your licence plate sticker, driver’s licence or health card is about to expire.

When you sign up, you can choose to get your reminders by:

• email
• text
• phone call
• any combination of phone, email or text

You will get your reminders:

• 60 days before your expiry date
• 30 days before your expiry date

Check eligibility

You can sign up for digital reminders if you have a:

• full driver’s licence (for example, G, M or GM)
• combination licence with one full class (for example, GM2, G1M)

Change your preferences

To change your contact information or how we send you reminders, you must:

Once you sign up, your reminders will update automatically:

• when you add a new sticker or vehicle under your name
• if you own multiple vehicles — just add any of the plates under your name, and you will receive reminders for all your plates
