If you already have a valid driver’s licence from another province, state or country, you can use that licence for 60 days. After 60 days, you need to switch to an Ontario driver’s licence.

Apply to exchange an out-of-province licence.

If you do not have a valid driver’s licence but want to drive in the province you must be at least 16 years old and have an Ontario driver’s licence. Once you pass an eye test and a written test about the rules of the road, you can apply for:

  • a G class licence, if you want to drive a car, van and/or small truck
  • an M class licence, if you want to ride a motorcycle, motor scooter and/or moped

Get a G driver’s licence for new drivers.
