Ontario Photo Card
The Ontario Photo Card is government-issued photo identification that allows non-drivers aged 16 years of age and over to access government, financial or business services that require proof of identity.
Ontario Photo Cards are available at these ServiceOntario Centres.
Before You Start
To apply for an Ontario Photo Card, you must be a non-driving resident of Ontario, 16 years of age and over. If you have a driver’s licence, you must surrender your driver’s licence in order to apply for a photo card. Your driver’s licence will be cancelled.
Before you visit a ServiceOntario centre that offers the Ontario Photo Card, you will be required to provide valid original identity documents that prove legal name, date of birth, and signature. Acceptable identification includes a birth certificate, passport, citizenship card and permanent resident card.
