Manitoba wildfire evacuees get extension to renew driver's licences, IDs
Expired, or near expiring, documents valid until Sept. 30: Manitoba Public Insurance
Manitoba's public auto insurer says wildfire evacuees with documents that are expired, or nearing expiration, will have a bit more time to renew them.
Driver's licences, vehicle registrations, insurance and identification cards with expiry dates on or after May 23, and before Sept. 1, will be valid until the end of September for those subject to wildfire evacuation orders, Manitoba Public Insurance said in a Saturday news release.
Evacuees are encouraged to check the expiry dates on their documents and to renew them if needed, but MPI says it understands that may not be possible for everyone during an evacuation.
The extensions will allow wildfire evacuees to continue to use their vehicles or identification cards even if their pertaining documents are expired. MPI says it will continue to send out renewal notices to customers via Canada Post.
