How to replace a lost, stolen or damaged Ontario driver's licence — and autofill your details with my-id.ca
Replace your driver's licence without retyping your personal details
Replacing a lost, stolen or damaged Ontario driver's licence asks for the same name, address, and date of birth you've entered on every ServiceOntario form. This guide is an example of storing those repeating fields in my-id.ca.
Official form and source
