Motorcycle and moped registration includes licence plates and a vehicle permit. Licence plates are required for motorcycles and mopeds when driven on public roads. 

When registering your moped at a Driver and Vehicle Licence Issuing Office, you must show the bill of sale. Dealers of mopeds are required by law to provide purchasers with a certificate that guarantees the moped fits the definition under the Highway Traffic Act. 

A distinct new licence plate is issued to all limited-speed motorcycles registered after March 27, 2006. The new plate is the same size as the motorcycle plate but is green with white lettering. Motorcycle and moped plates will remain the same. Licence plates in Ontario work on a plate-to-owner system. This means that licence plates move with the vehicle owner, not the vehicle. When you sell or change a vehicle, you must remove the plates. If you do not intend to use them on another vehicle, you may return them to a Driver and Vehicle Licence Issuing Office. 

Your vehicle permit must have an accurate description of your vehicle. This means if you change anything about your motorcycle or moped, such as the colour, you must report it to a Driver and Vehicle Licence Issuing Office within six days. Also, if you change your name or address, you must notify the Ministry of Transportation within six days. You can do this in person at a Driver and Vehicle Licence Issuing Office; or by mailing the information stub attached to your vehicle permit to the Ministry of Transportation, P.O. Box 9200, Kingston, ON, K7L 5K4; or, online at www.serviceontario.ca.
