Copy licence details carefully before payment — Get My Abstract

Use clear original information

Have the relevant licence details available before starting a record order. Recheck characters when information is being transcribed from an image or sent by another person. Do not invent a missing character or assume the service will correct it automatically.

Check only at the real ordering destination

Read the product name at the selected ordering destination, then compare each entered licence character with the original information. Keep the intended driver distinct from the payer or person helping with the request. If a character is unclear, confirm it before continuing rather than completing the number from memory.

Review the whole order

Confirm the selected product, identifying information and intended delivery contact before paying. Ontario's official online guidance warns that the entered licence number must be valid; an order confirmation should not be mistaken for proof that the requested record has already been received.

Illustrative example: resolve an unclear character before ordering

Imagine a licence number is supplied in an image where one character is difficult to read. Guessing the character can lead to an avoidable identification problem even when the selected product is appropriate. Obtain a clear version of the relevant information through a private channel before continuing, rather than expecting the service to decide which character was intended.

Once the identifier is clear, review the product and delivery contact independently. These checks address different failure points and should not be collapsed into a single impression that the form looks complete. Keep any order reference after payment, while avoiding a public screenshot containing the original identifier or payment information. The example adds no identity-verification promise to a private service. It describes the reader's own preparation step and respects Ontario's instruction to enter valid information instead of assuming that a successful submission proves the intended search has been performed correctly.
