You can obtain a driver abstract from your provincial government or the Ministry of Transportation via on-line services. The fee to obtain a driving record is relatively low. In most provinces, the cost of a driver’s abstract varies but is typically under $20. The documents you need to provide are different depending on how you want to obtain your abstract. You may need a driver record to apply for a job as an employer considering candidates for vehicle insurance, for example when you apply to apply for a driver’s licence in another province, territory, or country.

Other parties may be authorized to request an individuals driver’s abstract, such as an employer, prospective employer, or a lawyer, as long as they have the individual’s valid written consent.
