How to fill the Ontario application to change an adult's name — and autofill it with my-id.ca
Change your name in Ontario — then update everything from one profile
A legal name change isn't just one form — it triggers a cascade of updates to your driver's licence, health card and more. This guide is an example of using my-id.ca to fill the change-of-name application and then breeze through the follow-on updates.
Official form and source
Start from the official ServiceOntario source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:
- Service page: Change your name — ontario.ca
- Form (Central Forms Repository): Application to Change an Adult's Name — 007-11155
What this form is about
The application asks ServiceOntario to register your new legal name. It needs your current identity details, the new name, and proof you live in Ontario.
Before you start: what to gather
- Current full legal name, date of birth, and place of birth.
- The new name you are requesting.
- Any previous names you have used.
- Ontario residency information and your current address.
Confirm the current application, declarations, and fee on ontario.ca.
How my-id.ca makes it faster
- Store your details once. Save your current name, birth details, residency and address in my-id.ca.
- Autofill the application. Use the my-id.ca Chrome extension on a web form, or fill a PDF from your saved profile inside my-id.ca.
- Submit it yourself through ServiceOntario.
- Cascade the change. Update your new name in my-id.ca, then autofill the driver's licence and health card updates from the same profile instead of redoing each by hand.
Why do it in my-id.ca
The whole point of a name change is consistency across your records. my-id.ca keeps one source of truth — stored in Canada, with AI on its own servers — so after the change, every form you touch reflects the new name without repeated typing.
Frequently asked questions
- What does the adult change-of-name application ask for?
- Your current full legal name, the new name you are requesting, date and place of birth, Ontario residency information, current address, and any previous names you have used. A declaration is typically required.
- After my name changes, can my-id.ca help update everything?
- Yes. Once your new name is stored in my-id.ca, you can autofill the follow-on updates — driver's licence, health card and more — without re-entering everything by hand.
- Does my-id.ca process the name change?
- No. my-id.ca prepares and autofills your information. You submit the official application to ServiceOntario yourself and follow their process. Confirm current requirements on ontario.ca.
Fill it once. Reuse it everywhere.
Save your information in my-id.ca once, then autofill this form and the next one — web forms with the Chrome extension, PDFs right in the app. Your data is stored in Canada and AI runs on my-id.ca's own servers, never sent to third-party AI providers.
