History
Non-Passenger Licence Plates
General Registration Licence Plates
In Ontario, motor vehicle dealers licensed under the "Motor Vehicle Dealers Act" use a single portable plate with the word "DEALER" on the left side and red alpha-numeric characters on a white background. It is for exclusive use by motor vehicle dealers only on motor vehicles owned as part of the dealer's inventory of vehicles for sale. It may also be used for private use vehicles that are owned as part of the dealer's inventory of vehicles for sale.
Service providers, including anyone who repairs, customizes, modifies, manufactures or transports motor vehicles or trailers use yellow and black DLR series plates (Dealer and Service Plate).
A Service Plate may be used:
* on a trailer or motor vehicle other than a motorcycle or motor-assisted bicycle for purposes related to the repair, road testing, customization or modification of the vehicle, if the vehicle is in the possession of the person to whom the service plate is issued, or
* for the purpose of transporting the vehicle by a person engaged in the business of transporting vehicles, or
* for purposes related to the manufacturing or sale of a trailer, or
* for the purpose of towing the vehicle by a person engaged in the business of transporting vehicles, or
* to tow a vehicle to a location where its load will be removed or to an impound facility.
Private use of motor vehicles or trailers with a service plate is not permitted.
