Since the elimination of licence plate stickers and renewal fees in Ontario on March 13, 2022, hundreds of thousands of drivers are driving with unregistered plates.
The Doug Ford government removed renewal fees but retained the requirement to renew the licence plate.
The count of unregistered plates rose from almost 400,000 in 2021 to nearly 600,000 in 2023.
