To change your address on your OHIP card, you can do so online or by mail.
The Ontario government offers an online service to update your address, which is available 24/7.
You can also update your address by mail, but this method takes longer.
To update your address by mail, you'll need to fill out a change of address form, which is available on the Ontario government's website.
Why Change Your Address
Changing your address on your OHIP card is a crucial step to ensure you receive important documents and notifications from the government.
You should change your address as soon as possible after moving to avoid any delays in receiving your mail.
It's a good idea to update your address within 30 days of a move, as advised by ServiceOntario.
Ontario Health Card Services
You can change your address on your Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) health card in a few different ways.
One option is to do it online through ServiceOntario. You can also visit your local ServiceOntario centre to update your address in person.
If you prefer to mail in your change, you can complete a Change of Address form, print it, and send it to ServiceOntario at P.O. Box 48, Kingston ON K7L 5J3.
Photo Card Information
Your Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) card is a photo card, which means it has your name, date of birth, and a photo of yourself on it.
The photo card is an official government-issued card that proves you're covered by OHIP.
It's usually made of a plastic material and has a unique card number.
The card is about the size of a credit card, making it easy to carry in your wallet or purse.
You should always carry your OHIP card with you when you need to see a doctor or get medical treatment.
The photo on your OHIP card is a photo of you, not a photo of someone else.
