Changing registration

Processing delays

October 2, 2026: Please be advised that we are currently experiencing a high volume of Business Change Notices requesting changes to Persons in Charge, Officers, and Directors. As a result, processing delays are expected. Requests will be prioritized based on dealership renewal dates. Please submit any changes well in advance of your dealership’s expiry date to avoid delays that may affect your renewal. Thank you for your patience.

Salesperson changes

A salesperson must notify OMVIC in writing, within five days of the following changes:

1. change of address
2. commencement of employment with a dealer (and date of commencement)
3. termination of employment with a dealer (and date of termination).

Dealership changes

A dealer must notify OMVIC in writing, within five days of the following changes:

1. Change of dealer address
2. Change of officers or directors (if dealer is a corporation or partnership)
3. The date of commencement of employment of every salesperson
4. The termination of employment of a salesperson and the date and reason for termination.

General changes

Every dealer and salesperson must notify OMVIC in writing, within five days of the following:

1. Any change to the information that the dealer or salesperson supplied to OMVIC for the purpose of obtaining registration.
2. Any change in the consent that a dealer (or dealers) gave to a salesperson being employed or retained to act as a salesperson for more than one dealer. For example, if they informed OMVIC on the application for registration of a charge under a law and they are subsequently convicted, they must inform OMVIC of the conviction. Do not wait until the next renewal application to inform OMVIC of the conviction.
