You must report a change of name or address to the Ministry of Transportation within
- 3 months.
- 1 month.
- 10 days.
- 6 days. ✓
Answer: D. 6 days.
You must tell the Ministry of Transportation about a change of name or address within six days.
Why this is the answer
The handbook says that when you change your name or address, you must notify the Ministry of Transportation within six days. The same six-day limit applies when you change something about the motorcycle itself, such as its colour, and you can report it in person at a ServiceOntario centre, by mail using the stub on your vehicle permit, or online. Six days is the only time limit the handbook gives for this kind of notice, so it is the answer here.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. 3 months. — Three months is far longer than the six-day window the handbook sets for reporting a name or address change.
- B. 1 month. — One month is longer than the six-day period the handbook gives, so it would leave you overdue.
- C. 10 days. — Ten days goes past the six-day deadline the handbook states for notifying the ministry.
Remember it
Six days covers both kinds of change you report to ServiceOntario: a change to the motorcycle itself and a change to your name or address.
