Ontario Vehicle Owner Supplementary Registration Form (English / French)

Understanding the Ministry of Transportation Supplementary Application (Form SR-LV-012E)

If you are registering a vehicle in Ontario and need to provide additional information about the vehicle owner or co-owners, the Ministry of Transportation Supplementary Application (form SR-LV-012E) is the official document you must complete. This form is essential for ensuring that vehicle registration records accurately reflect ownership details, especially when multiple owners or specific operating arrangements are involved.

What is the purpose of this form?

This form serves several key functions:

• To record ownership details when the license plates are owned by someone other than the vehicle owner.
• To register a vehicle to two individuals or two companies jointly.
• To specify the name of an unincorporated company operating the vehicle.

By completing this form, you ensure the Ontario Ministry of Transportation has correct and complete information, which is vital for legal and administrative purposes such as licensing, insurance, and compliance with provincial legislation.

Who should fill out this form?

This form is designed for specific situations involving vehicle ownership and registration:

• Section 1: If the license plates are owned by someone other than the vehicle owner, the owner must complete this section.
• Section 2: If the vehicle is to be registered to two individuals or two companies, both parties need to fill out this section.
• Section 3: If an unincorporated company (operating as) name is required on the permit, this section must be completed.

It is important to fill out only the relevant sections based on your specific registration circumstances to avoid delays or errors.

How to complete the form correctly

The form must be filled out clearly and in ink to ensure legibility. Here are some key points to keep in mind:

• Section 1: Provide the owner’s full name, date of birth, sex, and complete address, including postal code. If the license plates are owned by someone else, this section captures that information.
• Section 2: For joint ownership, both individuals or companies must fill out their details separately, including driver’s license number, name, address, and date of birth.
• Section 3: If operating as an unincorporated business, write the business name and certify its accuracy with a signature.

All signatures certify that the information provided is true. Remember that providing false information can result in penalties, including fines, imprisonment, or suspension of your driver’s license, under provincial legislation.

Documents to attach and submission process

While the form itself does not specify which documents to attach, it is advisable to have supporting identification, such as a driver’s license, and any relevant ownership documents available if requested by the Ministry. The completed form can be submitted in person at a ServiceOntario centre or mailed to the appropriate address provided in the instructions. It is recommended to keep a copy of the completed form for your records.

Common errors to avoid

To ensure a smooth registration process, watch out for these frequent mistakes:

• Leaving sections incomplete or skipping relevant sections.
• Using illegible handwriting or incorrect ink color.
• Providing false or outdated information, which can lead to legal penalties.
• Forgetting signatures or dates, which invalidate the form.

Carefully review all entries before submitting to avoid delays or rejection.
