What happens when a cheque for a vehicle transaction is
returned by a financial institution as non-negotiable?
When a cheque is returned by a financial institution to the
ministry, a denial is placed against the plate for which the cheque was
written. A cheque is considered non-negotiable for the following reasons:
- Payment stopped
- Wrong account number
- Inconsistency between written and figure amount
- Signature irregular
- Account closed/transferred
- Insufficient funds
The following occurs when a denial is issued:
- A notification letter is sent to the plate owner by mail
- A denial is recorded against your plate immediately
- An administration fee of $35.00 is charged. After 30 days an
additional $5.00 fee for each plate or 10% of the value of the cheque,
whichever is greater, is charged.
Payment must be made by certified cheque, money order (payable to
the Minister of Finance) or cash at any Driver & Vehicle Issuing Office or
by certified cheque or money order and mail to:
Ministry of Transportation
