Documentation required to register (plate) a car in Ontario
I checked with ServiceOntario what documentation I needed to register and plate a replacement car (for my trashed one) using the old plates which still have a valid sticker.
Was told:
1. Ontario Safety Certificate
2. Ownership with original signatures
3. Bill of Sale with original signatures
At the time I wwas still looking to get a used car from Quebec since there were no suitable ones available in Ontario.
Now I ended up getting a used Mazda from a Mazda dealer in Toronto.
Normally the dealerwould deliver the car already plated, but since I want to use my existing plates, they were planning to deliver the car, drive it to my house, using the dealer plate (or 10-day transit sticker) and do the registration here.
My question (preferable to a dealer if one checks this forum)
Do I still need the three items I listed above or is it assumed that the dealer has performed the safety.
Is an ownership document required if the car is sold by a dealer?
Can the dealer register the car (I had sent the dealer the permit of the old car) and I just attach the plates when the car gets here?
The dealer seems to be a bit confused when I mention the three items above that are required for registration, but perhaps I'm confused - ie the process is different for a car bought privately and different again for a car bought from a dealer in Quebec vs a dealer in Ontario.
