Digital reminders will make it more convenient to renew licence plate stickers, driver’s licences and health cards.

The Ontario government is making it easier to renew important documents by introducing the option for people to receive digital reminders – including email, text or voicemail – to renew their licence plate stickers, driver’s licences and health cards. The new service will allow Ontarians the option to receive digital reminders 30 and 60 days in advance of their renewal date. This is considered to be a faster and more user-friendly option that will help people stay on top of the renewal dates for their driver’s licences, licence plate stickers and health cards. No more waiting in line. For those Ontarians who must complete their transactions in person, ServiceOntario has introduced online appointment booking for many of its busiest Service Ontario locations to ensure people aren’t waiting unnecessarily in lines.

Once they receive digital reminders, Ontarians can renew their documents through www.ServiceOntario.ca where over 40 transaction services are available online, 24/7. To sign up for these reminders www.Ontario.ca/Reminders . Facebook & Window Auction- Community Care’s Thrift Shop is conducting a Facebook Auction of some great items.
