Ontario Photo Card

Ontario introduced a new photo card that will provide government-issued identification to Ontarians who do not drive. The Ontario photo card makes it easier for non-drivers to perform everyday transactions such as opening a bank account, cashing a cheque or returning merchandise to a store. The voluntary card was launched on July 25, 2012 and is available to individuals 16 years of age and over who do not hold a driver’s licence.

The photo card is being rolled out to Service Ontario Centres locations across the province.
