2011may Arizona to Ontario


Sites useful for this move. First of all Google. Second of all MapQuest.
  1. Driver's licence

    Ontario

    1. Driver's licencing in Ontario
    2. Out of Province, but Arizona counts as a province.
      1. Do I need both an Arizona driving abstract and US IRE (Interprovincial Record Exchange) search? The page implies not, but is ambiguous.
      2. Arizona issues a certified driver record and does not explicitly call it a driving abstract, but that is what is generically as the Arizona MVD informs. Is that acceptable without further ado? Will there be no objection because it does not say on it driving abstract?
      3. What constitutes proof of 2 years of driving experience? My Arizona licence and driving abstract only go back 9 months. I have an old invalidated Idaho licence that goes back 4 years and other old licences for various periods back to the 1990s. Will they suffice or is something else needed? Well FAQ 18 manages to continue the ambiguity. It doesn't clarify if old licences are acceptable or if driving abstract has to be called that.
    3. Ontario Government service locations
    4. Ontario Government services Port Colborne Services in Port Colborne include driver, vehicle, and health.

    Arizona

    1. Arizona Motor Vehicle Division
    2. MVD office Flagstaff
    3. Motor Vehicle Record Request But is the certifed driver record the same thing as a driving abstract? Does it say driving abstract on it? How long does it go back for? Only my Arizona record or further back into records from other states? If I go ot the MVD office, do have to wait in the long line for it? If I mail for it, how do I pay? Ordinary check made out to whom? How long to receive it if by mail?
    4. Notaries in Flagstaff
    5. Driving Records in Arizona A commercial site with access somehow to government records.
    6. How to Get a Driver's Abstract A general page.

    Idaho

    1. Idaho DMV
    2. DRIVER LICENSE RECORD REQUESTS
    3. Idaho Motor Vehicle Driver's License Record Request This is probably the document that I need to have. I need the certified version. How do I make a self request and verity? Just sign for myself. Probably with notarized signature, but it doesn't say. No. How long is the processing time? Just a day or so. Cost? 7+14=21 dollars. Will they mail it to my Canadian address? Not needed now.
