Requesting a Copy of Your Abstract
Driver abstracts can be issued for a 3, 5 or 10 year period. You may visit a private registry agent to request a copy of your abstract. You must present acceptable identification and complete a Request for Personal Driving and Motor Vehicle Information form (pdf) and specify the period you are interested in. The agent will then issue a printed drivers abstract.
Requesting a Copy of a Minor's Abstract
A parent/legal guardian may apply on behalf of a minor (person under 18 years of age), who is not self-supporting or married. The parent/guardian must supply acceptable identification, and complete a Driver Abstract Statement of Intent form (pdf).
Requesting a Copy of Another Person's Abstract on Their Behalf
An individual who is personally known to the driver who has written consent may apply in person for an abstract on the drivers behalf. The individual must present acceptable identification, complete a Driver Abstract Statement of Intent form (pdf) and a Driver Abstract Consent form (pdf) completed and signed by the driver whose information they are requesting. The consent and statement of intent indicate that the individual is requesting it only to transfer it to the driver and will not be compensated in any manner for receiving or transferring the driver’s abstract to the driver.
Other Types of Abstract Requests
There are other situations where your information can be released to others, such as employers and lawyers. There are also specific procedures for requesting your information when you are outside the province. For detailed information, please see the Access to Motor Vehicle Information section of this website.
