Ontario G2 and G Road Test Checklist: What to Bring in 2026

Bring your current valid driver's licence and your road-test booking information. The vehicle must also be legally registered, insured and roadworthy, but DriveTest does not describe the vehicle permit and insurance slip as a universal three-document handover to the examiner.

• Arriving with the correct paperwork is mandatory for your G2 or G road test.
• Missing any of the Essential Three documents results in immediate test cancellation.
• Prepare with Ontario G1 practice tests.

What Must You Bring to an Ontario G2 or G Road Test?

The core check-in item is your current valid driver's licence, along with the road-test booking information. The vehicle itself must be legally registered, insured and roadworthy.

BDE Records, Highway Declaration and Accompanying Driver

BDE completion is recorded electronically by the approved driving school. For the full G road test, the applicant may need to make the required highway-driving declaration. If a G1 holder needs an accompanying driver to get to the centre, that person must be fully licensed to drive the vehicle and meet Ontario's experience requirements; the rule is not limited to a Class G licence only.

Does your supervising driver need to stay at the DriveTest centre during your G2 test?

The supervising driver does not ride with you during the road test. If you still need that person to drive legally to or from the centre, plan for them to remain available until the test is finished.

What Happens If You Arrive Without a Required Item?

If you arrive without an item DriveTest requires for your test, you may have to reschedule. When the test is declared out-of-order, the standard fee rule is that 50% of the prepaid road-test fee is lost and the remaining 50% stays as credit.

Vehicle defects and detailed pre-test mechanical requirements belong in the Vehicle Requirements — Road Test guide.

What happens if a required road-test item is missing at check-in?

If a required check-in item is missing and DriveTest cannot start the appointment, you may need to reschedule. This section is about missing documents or check-in items; vehicle defects and general out-of-order rules belong in the Vehicle Requirements — Road Test guide.

Can you use a temporary paper Ontario licence for a road test?

Yes, if the temporary Ontario driver licence is current and valid for the class you need for the test. Bring it with any accompanying document DriveTest issued with it.

Do you need to print your Ontario road-test confirmation email?

DriveTest asks applicants to bring their road-test confirmation. A printed copy is a simple way to have the booking details ready at check-in.

Do you need to bring proof of insurance to hand to the examiner?

The test vehicle must be legally insured, but DriveTest does not describe an insurance slip as a universal document that every applicant must hand to the examiner at check-in.

Check your licence and booking details the night before. Make sure the vehicle is legally registered, insured and roadworthy, and bring any corrective lenses required by your licence.

Practical Tips to Avoid Cancellation

• Confirm your driver's licence is current and your booking details are correct.
• Make sure the vehicle is legal and roadworthy; detailed defect rules are covered in the Vehicle Requirements guide.
• If an accompanying driver is needed, confirm they meet Ontario's full-licence and experience rules.
