Frequently Asked Questions

What is the fine for expired registration in Ontario?
Even though Ontario eliminated licence-plate sticker fees in 2022, drivers must still renew their plate validation each year. Driving with an unvalidated plate is a fineable offence with a set fine around $110, and higher amounts are possible if contested in court.
Do I get demerit points for expired registration?
No. Driving with an expired registration or plate validation is an administrative/registration offence, not a moving violation, so it does not add demerit points to your driving record.
Is expired registration the same as no insurance?
Not everywhere. In most provinces registration and insurance are separate. In British Columbia, however, registration and basic insurance are issued together through ICBC, so an expired registration usually means the vehicle was also uninsured, which is a much more serious offence with fines in the thousands.
Can my car be towed for expired registration?
It can be. Police generally issue a ticket and order you to renew, but a vehicle that is significantly overdue or being driven despite an order can be towed or have its plates removed in some provinces.
