How to renew a child's Ontario health card — and autofill it with my-id.ca
Renew a child's Ontario health card without re-entering family details
Parents renew each child's health card on its own cycle, re-typing the same names, address, and guardian details every time. This guide is an example of storing each child's information once in my-id.ca so renewals are fast.
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 – Child — 014-4258-82
What this form is about
The child renewal keeps a child's Ontario health coverage current, confirming the child's identity, residency, and health number.
Before you start: what to gather
- The child's full name and date of birth.
- The current address.
- The child's health number.
- A parent or guardian's details and any supporting documents (confirm the current list on ontario.ca).
How my-id.ca makes it faster
- Store each child once. Save each child's name, date of birth, and health number in my-id.ca.

Why do it in my-id.ca
A family's details show up on health cards, school forms, and benefits applications for years. Stored once in my-id.ca — in Canada, with no third-party AI — each child's renewal and the next school form start mostly filled.
Frequently asked questions
- What do I need to renew my child's health card?
- The child's name, date of birth, current address, and health number, plus a parent or guardian's details and supporting documents. my-id.ca can hold this for each child so renewals are quick.
- Can I store details for more than one child in my-id.ca?
- Yes. Keep each child's information so a parent renewing several cards does not re-enter the shared family details each time.
- Does my-id.ca submit the renewal?
- No. my-id.ca prepares and autofills the information; you complete the renewal through ServiceOntario yourself. Confirm the current process on ontario.ca.
