The Ontario government has announced a new process for seniors aged 80 and over to renew their drivers' licences. Starting February 3, 2025, seniors will be able to complete mandatory vision and cognitive screening assessments and renew their licences in a single visit at select ServiceOntario centres. This service is expected to be available at all ServiceOntario locations across Ontario by the end of Spring 2025.

The initiative aims to streamline the renewal process for seniors. The initial rollout will occur at specific ServiceOntario centres, though the exact locations have not been specified in the announcement.

This change is part of the government's efforts to ensure road safety while accommodating the needs of senior drivers. Seniors in the Northeast of Ontario, including towns such as Timmins and Kapuskasing, will be able to access this service as it becomes available across the province.
