No. In Ontario, you must have proof of insurance in order to register your vehicle. You’ll need to provide the pink slip provided by your insurer.

Here are a few more things you need to register your car:

• The ownership permit that shows you’re the owner of the car
• Licence plates and up to date licence plate stickers
• It must be confirmed to meet safety standards by a qualified mechanic
• It has to meet provincial emissions standards by passing a Drive Clean test
