Drivers, Vehicles & Photo Identification

Motor Registration falls under the Department of Government Services. This division tests and issues driver licences and other photo identification cards and issues vehicle registrations. It is also responsible for achieving safety on public highways through a number of program areas.

Studded Tires Notice: The Honourable Kevin O'Brien, Minister of Government Services, would like to advise the public that the deadline to remove studded tires will be extended by one week to May 7. Usually the date studded tires must be removed is April 30. The extension is due to potential adverse weather conditions in some parts of the province.

A person shall not operate on a highway between May 1 and October 31, both days inclusive, in a year, a vehicle equipped with a rubber tire having metal studs (studded tires). Information on studded tires can be found in the Licensing and Equipment Regulations under the Highway Traffic Act - Section 27 and 28 found on our web site at : http://www.assembly.nl.ca/legislation/sr/regulations/rc961007.htm#28_
