Ontario - Apply for Enhanced Driver License

ProcedureEdit

Book an appointment. Appointments must be booked prior to attending an EDL Service Centre. You can book an appointment online at ServiceOntario.ca: https://www.appointments.gov.on.ca/appointments/mtoedl/EDLMainPageAction.do or by phoning ServiceOntario at 416 235-2999 or toll-free in Canada at 1 800 387-3445. You will be required to input your drivers license number when you are booking an appointment.
Complete the Enhanced Driver License questionnaires and forms. You will be required to download and print copies of the documents listed below and complete the information as requested prior to attending your scheduled appointment. Do not sign the forms as they must be signed during your in-person EDL application interview. You must provide proof of identity (legal name, date of birth, signature) and documentary evidence of Canadian citizenship. Only original documents are accepted copies are not permitted. You must present documents that support your current full legal name. If your current legal name is different from the name on your proof of citizenship document, or if your drivers license does not show your current legal name, you will also need to present a document to show the link between the two names.
Attend the interview appointment. Before you leave home, check that you have your completed forms and the proof of identity as required. Allow approximately 15 minutes for the appointment. During a pre-screening interview, you will be asked to provide proof of identity and documentary evidence of Canadian citizenship and you will be asked to sign the required forms and questionnaires.
Your documents will be reviewed and a number of questions will be asked relating to your citizenship and eligibility for an EDL. You will also be asked to pay the required $40 EDL application fee.
You can pay by cash, credit card, money order, certified personal cheque or debit card. If you meet all the requirements of the EDL pre-screening process, you will then continue with an EDL application interview. During this interview, you will be asked a number of additional questions that will help verify your identity and confirm you have submitted satisfactory evidence of your Canadian citizenship. If you meet all the requirements of the interview, your photo will be taken and your signature recorded. A temporary drivers license will be issued to you for use until your EDL card arrives by secure delivery or you may choose to pick it up at one of the ServiceOntario centres listed here (ServiceOntario.ca/findservices). The new EDL card must be signed for when delivered or picked up.
