How to request an Ontario name change to a single name — and autofill it with my-id.ca
Request a single-name change in Ontario — then update your records from one profile
A name change to a single name is a specific request with strict details, and like any name change it cascades to your ID. This guide is an example of using my-id.ca to fill the request and 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): Request for a Name Change to a Single Name — 007-11342
What this form is about
The request asks ServiceOntario to register one legal name with no separate first and last name, where eligible. It needs your current identity details, the single name requested, and proof of Ontario residency.
Before you start: what to gather
- Your current full legal name, date of birth, and place of birth.
- The single name you are requesting.
- Any previous names you have used.
- Ontario residency information and your current address.
Confirm current eligibility and the official process 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 request. 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.
Why do it in my-id.ca
A name change only works if it reaches every record. my-id.ca keeps one source of truth — stored in Canada, with self-hosted AI — so after the change, each form reflects your new name without repeated typing.
