A licensed driver changes his or her name or address. They must inform the Ministry of Transportation…?
- Within 12 days
- At any time prior to the license renewal date
- Within 28 days
- Within 6 days ✓
Answer: D. Within 6 days
You must inform the Ministry of Transportation within six days of changing your name or address.
Why this is the answer
The handbook gives a specific deadline for telling the ministry about a name or address change: six days. It also says you need a new licence after the change and describes ways to make the change, such as through ServiceOntario, a licence issuing office, or mail. Because the rule is tied directly to when your name or address changes, the six-day choice matches the handbook. The other timeframes are not supported by the passage.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Within 12 days — Twelve days is not the deadline in the handbook; the passage states six days for a name or address change.
- B. At any time prior to the license renewal date — Waiting until licence renewal is wrong because the handbook ties the notice to the change itself, not to the renewal date.
- C. Within 28 days — Twenty-eight days is not mentioned in the passage; the handbook gives six days instead.
Remember it
Picture your new address on a calendar with only six squares before you must tell the ministry.
