Overview

A one-page list from Toronto's Municipal Licensing and Standards, updated May 2024, of identification the City accepts with licence and permit applications, linked from the Temporary Signs page on new development signs. One column names photo identification such as a Canadian passport, permanent resident card and Ontario driver's licence. The other names proof of work status such as a birth certificate, citizenship card and work permit, with a note that proof of work status applies to sole proprietorships. It works with the sample signing authority letter.
