CANADA - People in Ontario who don't have a driver's license or other form of photo ID will now be able to apply for personal ID cards starting in July.
The Ontario government-issued identification cards will be available to 1.5 million+ Ontarians 16 years and older who don’t drive. People without a driver’s licence say not having a photo ID card makes life more difficult for everyday transactions such as cashing a cheque, opening a new bank account, obtaining a credit card, boarding a domestic flight, obtaining hotel accommodations or even renting a video.
The new cards will cost $35, be valid for 5 years and available at select ServiceOntario centres starting July 25. Applicants must provide documents to prove legal name, date of birth and signature.
The new move to create these cards was pushed by vision-impaired Canadians who can't get a driver’s licence and wanted a basic piece of government-issue ID to prove their identities.
