What a guarantor declaration for an Ontario driver's licence asks for — and how to autofill it with my-id.ca
Complete a guarantor declaration without retyping your details
If you are applying for your first Ontario driver's licence and lack certain identity documents, a guarantor can vouch for you — and both forms repeat personal details. This guide is an example of storing them once in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
Start from the official source and always use the current version — form numbers and links can change:

What this form is about
The guarantor declaration lets someone who has known you for a specified period confirm your identity when you cannot provide all required documents for a new Ontario Photo Card or driver's licence.
Before you start: what to gather
- The applicant's name and date of birth.
- The guarantor's name, address, and licence or ID number.
- How long the guarantor has known the applicant.
