The details on how to acquire a Used Vehicle Information Package in Ontario, a necessity by law, prior to selling your car are available in this UVIP Primer.
Here, however, you’ll find the nuts and bolts of a Used Vehicle Information Package in Ontario. First off, while the Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) is the seller’s responsibility to provide, the Ministry really doesn’t care who pays the fee. If the seller doesn’t present you with the UVIP as part of the sale, then you’ll be forced to pay for it upon registration of the vehicle.
There’s a ministry in the underground of the Bay & College building (Southeast Corner) in Toronto. You can travel through Rexall Pharma Plus and take the escalators down to the long hallway running north. You’ll have to grab a number and wait between twenty minutes and an hour and a half. Other than that, all you have to do is hand them your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and pay them twenty dollars.
The Used Vehicle Information Package itself isn’t difficult to decipher, and the example given was a Toyota Prius that was listed on eBay Motors.
