I went into the MNR on the 7th of Jan to renew my card.....new one was in my mailbox on the 22nd. Fast friendly service .
Please enlighten the mass's? You got a special key to get into an MNR office and actually speak to a human being?Quote:

At that time I was told I would receive my Plastic Card by the end of Jan. which is now approaching, that is why I called today and received this latest update, which is blamed on an overload of renewals ???Quote:

Still waiting since second week of Dec. I have copy of License summary so no big deal. Get it when I get it.
The lady at the MNR said the receipt she gave me was all I needed as a temp licence.Quote:

They sell them in the lobby of the MNR building in Kemptville...same lady has been there for over 25 yrs....she stayed on even after they also started to sell Drivers licence and Health cards. :)Quote:

So it's not the MNR, it's the Service Ontario outlet at the MNR building? Gotcha!Quote:

Like on your birthdate would ease the mad rush at years end ..Quote:

Ya, but I'm pretty sure most of the people on here reading your post, are not locals?Quote:

Why would anyone on here, other than you, want to know where I renewed my card. If I had known it was going to cause you such grief, I would have posted a map. :)Quote:

Some great weather forecast for the next few weeks; yotes should be in the mating season soon, if not already with these temps. Silly to avoid going out and using paper work as an excuse HaHa...
What if you renewed over the phone? Is the confirmation number good enough?Quote:

Well, according to the info in my first post, if you don't have a new card, a license summary will suffice. That being said, I would say that a confirmation number on it's own won't cut it. If you can't set up an account yourself and print at home, you can get a summary printed at Service Ontario offices that deal with MNRF licenses.Quote:

They said they could not fix it. Sorry about your luck, please play again.
New card comes in the mail December of 2019 with an expiration date of Dec 31 2020.
Looks like they are having some problems with the new system.
Or your reputation precedes you. I had no problem, the right thing arrived in two weeks, after ordering on line.
Did mine in December and got new one 2 weeks later. Did it on line
Card arrived in this mornings mail expiry date 2022 I renewed it on Dec. 16/2019, yet I was told two days ago that it would be coming mid Feb.??? all is well now.
Maybe they are aware of your reputation, and don't want you out there hunting! :)Quote:
