[itsallgreektome 0]

Hi everyone

Just wondered what you fellow canadians are doing with renewin your ontario plates. I just got here on a k-3. I am going to apply for ead and then ssn and then aos but in the meantime, I have to renew my plates. Do I renew an ontario plate or a u.s. plate. I think I maybe stuck without driving my car here in the u.s. because till I get a ssn. Can anyone enlighten me?

Car licensure is a state thing so the answer is dependant on your state of residence. In MN, SSN is only one of many different forms of ID that the DMV will accept..

You can't get US plates on your car without importing your vehicle at the border. Not all vehicles are admissable to the US. You need to get a letter from the manufacturer that says your vehicle meets applicable FMVSS standards. See this link for more details: http://www.nhtsa.com/cars/rules/import/VIG...ada01192007.htm

I don't know where you live, but I can't imagine how you'd renew your Ontario plates with Ontario plates? Unless I'm confused at what you're saying....

Agree with fwguy, each state's motor vehicle division is different. I suppose if you want the car plated and you can't do it with the identification you have, you could have your US spouse plate it in their name?

You would need an address to give to the license office for your plates for them to send you a new registration. They will also want to change your drivers license to the new address. My vehicle was in Canada at first when I was here and my mother was driving it, she went and put in a change of address and got my new sticker and they also sent her a new Ontario drivers license for me with the new address. Once I got here I have licensed it in the US.

When do your Ontario plates expire?

They expire this month may 25 th. I didn't know that at the border one has to "import" their car. Who knew? I am trying to renew my Ontario Plates till I get approved for my green card. I don't know if I can get my plates renewed in Canada. Otherwise I have to get my car safety'ed and then fax the report to Toyota Canada who will issue me a "Conformity Letter" and the I have to take that letter to the Port of Entry and then they give me documents to take to the Dept of Trans. and then I can register my car and change the ownership to my husband (because I can't get plates till I get a SSN). Oh brother. I sure have learnt alot of stuff with "immigration" process.

In Alberta we can renew our registration online and they just mail out the new stickers/piece of paper. Don't know if that is an option in Ontario.

Hi there, yes, it is an option in Ontario but it takes awhile to get the tags. Thanks for your help

Hi Rosemarie! I almost didn't see your new topic on this post, so it's always best not to just add to a post, but to start your own.

Yeah on receiving your package 4! There are a few threads on VJ already on U-haul and getting your stuff to the US.
