London, Ontario – New car owners might be able to look forward to driving their new rides out of dealerships, thanks to changes in the car registration processes.
Ontario’s new Digital Dealership Registration (DDR) process allows dealerships to issue license plates and registrations to customers, which the government says will “reduce the administrative burden they face and save them additional costs and time.”
According to the Ontario government, the DDR will digitalize up to 4.8 million dealership transactions per year, including vehicle transfer and permit replacements.
DDR is available for registration of new passenger vehicles and is being tested in select dealerships through the spring. Eligible dealerships can participate in the program as it expands and as additional transaction types are introduced, including used vehicle and electric vehicle transactions.
