Any class of licence is valid for learning to drive a higher class of vehicle; however, you must be accompanied by a driver who has a valid licence for that class of vehicle.

To upgrade your present licence to any higher Class 1, 2, 3, 4*, 5, or 6, there is an examination fee of $53.00 (includes $6.91 HST) for the road test.

The road test fees are 'per occasion', that is, the fee must be paid again for each additional road test. Fees are payable at any Registry of Motor Vehicles office throughout the province. Upon payment, you will be issued a road test receipt (no expiry). The receipt number must be presented at the time of scheduling your road test appointment. You will also be required to present this receipt, along with your licence, insurance card (in the name of the vehicle owner), vehicle or trailer permit(s) to the examiner at the time of your road test appointment. You may schedule your road test appointment by phoning:
