M.R. 84/2015 Registration periods 3(1) The registration period of a vehicle that is registered in the name of an individual who does not have a vehicle registered under IRP is the one-year period beginning on the day that is four months after his or her birthday and expiring on the day before the day that is four months after his or her next birthday if the vehicle is registered as (a) a commercial truck having a registered gross weight of 4,500 kg or more; (b) a vehicle for hire; (c) a commercial drive-away unit; (d) a limited-use commercial truck; or (e) a commercial bus. 3(1.1) The registration period of a vehicle that is registered in the name of an individual who does not have a vehicle registered under IRP is the five-year period beginning on the day that is four months after his or her birthday and expiring on the day before the day that is 52 months after his or her next birthday if the vehicle is registered in a registration class other than those set out in subsection (1). 3(2) Except as provided in subsection (2.4), the registration period of a vehicle that is registered in the name of an individual who has another vehicle registered under IRP, (a) if the particular vehicle is registered under IRP, is the one-year period beginning on the first day of the month chosen by the individual under subsection 4(1) and expiring on the day before the first day of the same month in the next year, and (b) if the particular vehicle is not registered under IRP and is (i) registered in a registration class set out in subsection (1), is the registration period set out in that subsection, or (ii) registered in a registration class other than those set out in subsection (1), is the registration period set out in subsection (1.1). 3(2.1) The registration period of a vehicle that is registered in the name of a corporation that does not have a vehicle registered under IRP is the one-year period beginning on the first day of the month chosen by the corporation under subsection 4(1) and expiring on the day before the first day of the same month in the next year if the vehicle is registered as (a) a commercial truck having a registered gross weight of 4,500 kg or more; (b) a vehicle for hire; (c) a commercial drive-away unit; (d) a limited-use commercial truck; or (e) a commercial bus. 3(2.2) The registration period of a vehicle that is registered in the name of a corporation that does not have a vehicle registered under IRP is the five-year period beginning on the first day of the month chosen by the corporation under subsection 4(1) and expiring on the last day of the 59th month after the period's first month if the vehicle is registered in a registration class other than those set out in subsection (2.1). 3(2.3) The registration period of a vehicle that is registered in the name of a corporation who has another vehicle registered under IRP is the one-year period beginning on the first day of the month chosen by the corporation under subsection 4(1) and expiring on the day before the first day of the same month in the next year. 3(2.4) At the request of an individual who has a vehicle registered in his or her name under IRP, the registrar may, in respect of certain vehicles that the individual registers other than under IRP, allow the individual to choose the same day for the beginning of their registration period as the day that is the beginning of the registration period for the individual's IRP vehicle.

M.R. 77/2009 Coordination of multi-year periods 3.2 Despite section 3, the registrar may, when he or she issues a person's first registration card for a multi-year registration period, choose a different expiry date that the registrar considers necessary for the efficient administration of the identification card, driver licensing and vehicle registration systems. M.R. 77/2009 Effect of a change in document expiry date 3.3(1) Despite the definitions "annual registration period", "annual rating term" and "multi-year registration period" in section 1 and despite any other provision of this regulation respecting the expiration of vehicle registrations, when a person's document expiry date changes, the registrar may make any adjustment to the expiration date and annual rating terms of any multi-year registration period of any vehicle registered in the person's name that the registrar considers necessary taking into account the new document expiry date and the maximum length of a multi-year registration period. 3.3(2) Without limiting the generality of subsection (1), (a) the registrar may establish an earlier expiration date for a vehicle's registration period in the period's last annual rating term and may notify the person of the change by sending him or her a renewal notice for early renewal; and (b) if an earlier expiration date is not established, the original expiration date of the vehicle's registration period continues to apply to it despite the new document expiry date. 3.3(3) If the registrar establishes a different expiration date for a vehicle's registration period under subsection (1) or (2), the expiration date applies to the vehicle's registration despite the expiration date set out in the vehicle's registration card.

The registrar may, as a condition of registering the vehicle described in clause (b), require the registration of all the other vehicles registered by the individual, other than those referred to in section 5, 6 or 7, to be amended so that their registration period expires on the same day as the registration period described in subsection 3(2). 4(3) When an individual (a) who has registered one or more vehicles under IRP ceases to be their registered owner; and (b) applies to register a vehicle with a registration period referred to in subsection 3(1); the registrar may, as a condition of registering the vehicle described in clause (b), require the registration of all the other vehicles registered by the individual, other than those referred to in section 5, 6 or 7, to be amended so that their registration period expires on the same day as the registration period described in subsection 3(1).

Vehicles registered under short term policies 7 Despite sections 3 and 4, the registration period for a vehicle in respect of which an owner's certificate has been issued under a short term policy within the meaning of the Automobile Insurance Certificates and Rates Regulation , is the period beginning on the first day of the term of the short term policy and expiring on the policy expiry date. Validity of registration 8 Subject to the Act and the regulations, the registration of a vehicle, and the registration card issued for it, are valid for a period, not longer than the registration period, beginning on the day the vehicle is registered and ending on the day the registration period expires. M.R. 77/2009 Status of semi-trailer registration cards 8.0.1 Despite section 8, the registration card for a semi-trailer, once issued in respect of a particular registration period, is valid for the semi-trailer's subsequent registration periods — and is deemed to have been issued for each subsequent registration period — if all of the following conditions are met: (a) the semi-trailer continues to be owned by the registered owner named in the registration card; (b) none of the information about the registered owner or the semi-trailer stated in the registration card (including the registered owner's name or address) is inaccurate; (c) the applicable registration charges have been paid for each of the subsequent registration periods; (d) the semi-trailer is not written off; (e) the semi-trailer's registration has not been cancelled for any reason under the Act, The Highway Traffic Act or a regulation made under either of them.
