Digital Government and Service NL is advising residents that a fraudulent text message regarding Motor Registration Division services is circulating within the province. The text message instructs the recipient to pay a large sum of money by the end of the week to avoid having their driver’s licence suspended. However, Motor Registration does not communicate information about a person’s driver’s licence or amounts that may be owing through text messages. People should delete these text messages without responding, never click on any link provided, and block the caller’s number. Recipients of these text messages are also encouraged to report them to the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre or their local police.
Anyone who has questions about their driver’s licence or other services provided by Motor Registration can visit the website, or call toll-free 1-877-636-6867.
Residents may check the status of their driver’s licence or motor vehicle registration, and access a number of other online Provincial Government services, at any time through their free MyGovNL account.
