Ontario government launching online program that may reduce trips to Service Ontario for car buyers.
The province is launching a new program to help car dealerships register vehicles online and issue permits and license plates directly to buyers.
Officials say the Digital Dealership Registration process will give over 7,000 dealerships access to an online program that eliminates duplicative paperwork and trips to Service Ontario Centres.
"Implementing the new Digital Dealership Registration process is yet another way our government is cutting red tape for businesses and improving the speed and ease with which Ontarians access government services," said Ross Romano, Minister of Government and Consumer Services. "We’re helping build a stronger Ontario by making common sense changes like eliminating needless paperwork, saving consumers and the dealerships that serve them their precious time, energy, and money."
Once fully implemented, the system will help move online up to 4.8 million dealership registration transactions a year, including the registration of pre-owned cars, vehicle transfers and vehicle permit replacements.
Currently, these services are required to be completed in person.
