Inquiry: I can’t find out whether my driver’s licence is suspended, cancelled or invalid. I’ve sent countless e-mails to 3 different sections of the MTO but to no avail. Is there a way to find out this information, preferably for free?
Response: If you go into an MTO office, a clerk should be able to provide you that information. You could also go to the Service Ontario website and pull your 3 year driver’s abstract which would likely show any suspensions applied against your licence. A 3 year record check usually costs about $13 to $15. If you suspect that your licence may be suspended, you should not drive until you have resolved the suspension issue. A charge of DRIVE UNDER SUSPENSION carries a total maximum fine of $6,250, a mandatory 6 months of further licence suspension, and up to 6 months of jail.
Sincerely,
Greg Currie
