Cancellation of Vehicle Registration

Registration may be cancelled and plates ordered returned to the Registry of Motor Vehicles as provided under the Act.

Motor vehicle permits may be suspended or cancelled:

  • when the Registrar determines that the vehicle has not been assigned the correct status or is a non-repairable vehicle, a salvage vehicle or a reconstructed vehicle that has not been approved by the Registrar
  • when the permit was issued or is being used contrary to the Traffic Safety Act and its Regulations
  • when the owner's driver's licence has been suspended or cancelled
