Check the service before confirming

Open the official booking or licensing service linked below and choose the test and licence class that match your application. Check whether the authority offers an online test, an appointment, a walk-in service or a separate booking provider; the correct route depends on the local service.

Before confirming, read the current fee, accepted payment method, identification requirements and cancellation or rescheduling conditions. Keep the official confirmation and check the location and arrival instructions. An account or practice session on DrivePreKit is separate from an official appointment and does not reserve a test.

Choose G1 application or licence exchange

Ontario’s first-time route and its out-of-province exchange route are different applications. Start with the route matching your residence and existing licence. The G1 application includes knowledge and vision requirements; do not use a G2 road-test calendar as the way to arrange a first knowledge test.

Prepare original identification for the service

Use DriveTest’s current acceptable-document list and the selected service’s instructions to prepare your visit. Resolve name differences or translation needs before travelling. Check the current residence declarations, service location and payment arrangements on the official pages; a successful practice session does not satisfy administrative requirements.

Study rules and signs, then review mistakes

Use the MTO handbook for Ontario signs, intersections, road sharing and licence conditions. Keep a list of rules behind missed questions instead of memorising answer order. DrivePreKit’s car practice catalogue can support that study, while the handbook and licensing authority remain the references for official requirements.
