Starting February 1, 2025, late renewal fees will apply to any dealer or salesperson renewal submitted after the expiry date. A late renewal fee refers to a fee imposed on renewal applications submitted after the expiry date for the registration. Applications submitted after the expiry date will no longer be considered renewals. Instead, they will be treated as new applications and subjected to standard processing and routine evaluations.
The late fee will be charged in addition to the standard renewal fees required to maintain registration with OMVIC.
The late fee represents the additional time needed for OMVIC to review a renewal submitted late.
Tips to avoid late fees:
Operating without a valid licence is a violation of Section 4 of the Motor Vehicle Dealers Act. For assistance, contact OMVIC’s Registration Services.
| Renewal | Late Renewal | Total Renewal Fee (including late fee ) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dealers | $385 | $300 | $685 |
| Salespeople | $200 | $150 | $250 |
A motor vehicle dealer, other than those registered as a general dealer, broker or outside Ontario dealer, may be registered in more than one class or subclass of motor vehicle dealer. For more information about the dealer class descriptions click on the links below.
