How to renew your Ontario health card — and autofill the form with my-id.ca
Renew your Ontario health card without starting from scratch
A health card renewal asks for the same identity and address details you have given ServiceOntario before — and you give them again each cycle. This guide is an example of storing them once in my-id.ca so each renewal is quick.
Official form and source
Start from the official ServiceOntario source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:
- Service page: Renew your health card — ontario.ca
- Form (Central Forms Repository): Health Card Renewal — 014-4297-82
What this form is about
The renewal keeps your Ontario health coverage current. It confirms who you are, that you still live in Ontario, and links to your existing health number.
Before you start: what to gather
- Your full legal name and date of birth.
- Your current Ontario address.
- Your existing health number.
- Documents proving your identity and Ontario residency (confirm the current list on ontario.ca).
How my-id.ca makes it faster
- Save it once. Store your name, date of birth, address, and health number in your my-id.ca profile.
- Keep proof ready. Upload your identity and residency documents to my-id.ca Files so you are not searching at renewal time.
- Autofill the renewal. Use the my-id.ca Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside my-id.ca.
- Review and submit yourself through ServiceOntario.
Why do it in my-id.ca
The same details drive your driver's licence, your children's health cards, and many other Ontario forms. Captured once in my-id.ca — stored in Canada, with AI on its own servers — every renewal and related form starts mostly complete.
