Senior Driver Renewal Program - drivers 80 years of age and over

Once you reach 80 years of age, your driver's licence will be renewed every 2 years instead of every 5 years. You will have to go through a different process to renew your licence.

To renew your licence you will have to attend a driver's licence renewal session with other senior drivers. At this session, you will:

• Have your vision tested
• Take a multiple-choice test on traffic rules and signs
• Participate in a group education session - a ministry counsellor will teach a small group of seniors about how aging affects driving, tips on driving and new traffic laws (lasts about 90 minutes)
• The whole session lasts approximately 3.5 hours. 

For those over 80 and looking to renew your G driver's licence, further information including how to book an appointment can be found on the Service Ontario website.

Ontario Photo Card

The Ontario Photo Card is a wallet-sized card that provides government-issued identification to those Ontarians who do not have a driver’s licence, making it easier for them to do things such as open a bank account and any other activities that require official identification.

Further information on the Ontario Photo Card, including how to obtain one, fees, photo requirements can be found on Service Ontario website.
