A CVOR (Commercial Vehicle Operator's Registration) driver abstract is a five-year record of a commercial driver's safety performance in Ontario. Trucking companies, bus operators and other carriers commonly ask for it when hiring drivers or reviewing driver files. Enter the driver's name and Ontario licence number in the form above, add the email address where you'd like the record sent, then complete payment on the next step.
How to get a CVOR abstract in Ontario
You can get an Ontario CVOR driver abstract online in a few minutes, without visiting a ServiceOntario centre. There are two ways:
- Order it here. Enter the driver's name and Ontario licence number in the form above, add the email address for delivery and pay $28. We place the order with the Ministry of Transportation for you right away, and the certified CVOR driver abstract arrives by email as a PDF, usually within minutes, 24/7.
- Order it yourself from the Ministry of Transportation. The MTO sells CVOR driver abstracts on its own website, where you enter the licence number, your billing and profile details and pay by card.
Both give you the same official record. GetMyAbstract.ca is a private convenience service: we complete the government order for you and email you the result.
What you need: the driver's full name, their 15-character Ontario driver's licence number (1 letter followed by 14 numbers) and an email address for delivery.
