Ontario will automatically renew the license plate, Ford says – Winnipeg Free Press

Mississauga, Ont. – Drivers in Ontario will soon not need to renew their license plates as the government is moving to an automatic system.

Premier Doug Ford made the announcement today in response to a question from the Toronto Star, which reported more than one million expired license plates on the roads this week.

Ford eliminated the $120 annual fee for renewals in 2022, and since then, law enforcement officials say drivers have been forgetting to renew each year.

Ford said today that the Legislature will introduce a bill next week to make the retrofits automatic.

Drivers, he said, “don't worry about it at all.”
