You can renew your Ontario G license up to 180 days (approximately six months) before the expiry date. This allows ample time to complete the renewal process without rushing or risking expiration. You can renew online, by mail, or in person depending on your eligibility and whether you need a new photo or vision test. If your license includes any conditions that require in-person assessment—such as medical reports—you will be required to visit a ServiceOntario center. It’s advisable to check your renewal notice or log into your ServiceOntario account to see your options and confirm your renewal date eligibility. Early renewal does not shorten the validity period of your new license; it will still be valid for the standard five years from the original expiry date, so renewing ahead of time won’t cause you to lose any time on your new license.
