Plain-language summary · AI-assisted · not legal advice

The Photo Card Act has been updated to introduce a mandatory fee of $3.50 per six-month period (or part thereof) that a photo card is valid. This fee is payable by the card holder and sits alongside the Minister's existing authority to set fees for applicants and holders in different circumstances. People who hold Ontario photo cards should be aware they will be charged this recurring fee tied to their card's validity period. Businesses or service providers that assist individuals with photo card applications are not directly affected by this fee structure.
