  • If you do not pass the Electronic Identity Verification, you may still complete your request; however, you will be required to appear in person at a Brampton or Mississauga location within 30 days, with two pieces of photo ID and your online request number.

  • If you do not have credit history, you may be required to have your identity confirmed in person each time you apply.

• Two-step login each time: For added security, login requires a one-time code sent to your email each time you sign in.

• Each application is separate: You must re-enter your information for each application. Information is not saved for future applications.

• Complete in one session: For security purposes, you must complete the application in one sitting. If you exit before submitting, you may need to restart from the beginning.
