Where can I Renew my Pleasure Craft Licence?
You can renew your pleasure craft licence through two primary methods: online or by mail. For most boaters in the Greater Toronto Area, the online method is recommended because it is faster, providing an immediate digital receipt and taking less than 15 minutes to complete.
To renew online, you should visit the official Transport Canada website and log in to their portal. You will need your existing licence number and personal identification to update any changes to vessel information. Alternatively, you can renew in person at Service Canada centres during their regular business hours, though this may involve longer wait times.
A processing fee of $5 applies to the renewal. Keeping this documentation current is essential to avoid fines starting at $250 and to ensure your vessel is ready for professional services like transport, winterization, or storage.
