manotickmike Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Little help... I bought both my permits last night, as I was pretty much SURE I wasn't going to get to "service" (HAH!) Ontario before the early bird deadline. I entered the vin of my new(to me...) sled, but put NEWSLED in for the plate, as I figured plate to owner applied to sleds. Processed fine. Turns out I made it in to S.O. today, and after a 2 hour wait, determined my license "plate" remains the same. Seems I can't edit the info on the OFSC site post purchase. Do I need to go through transferring the permit before I receive it? Or just leave it. Hoping I don't have to contact the OFSC... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not entirely sure, but go back to the OFSC buying permit page and edit your profile. There is no link that says 'edit your profile' just a button that says 'edit' interestingly enough. hmmm Anyway, see if that works. I know while doing my purchase a minute change to my mailing address didn't 'take' as well as a couple of other selections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. by license"plate" do you mean the registration # which comes from service Ontario as an adhesive decal ? If its the registration # (some people use custom decals) then it stays with the sled. It doesn't move from sled to sled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manotickmike Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Seems I can't edit, as permit is already assigned. Yes, plate as in the sticker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sledjunk Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 To be legal, you will have to transfer the permit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The registration # (plate#) and validation sticker stay with the snowmobile not with the owner on snowmobiles. If someone at a Service Ontario office told you something different than that, they were wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contact the ofsc office. As sledjunk said they will have to reissue a new permit. $15 to correct the mistake... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poo Man Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Or just forget it as your vin matches, and I seriously doubt you'll have your permit papwork checked. Even if you do, you have a good explanation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ski If you started an order and did not complete it,then returned and completed it, you will get that message later on. I did and get the same message as you,but it refers to my first visit when I did not complete the order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRXChris Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Looking for a little help, ordered permit on the 18th and still haven't received. Looking at confirmation email it says i can check status of permit on "my page" of the OFSC website, I have no clue where that is I've spent about half an hour looking and give up. Where is this page located? I have no idea where to even check the status and now regretting not having it sent priority mail as I took the regular option but just assumed maybe somehting would go right for once.

I went through the same thing but I never received a shipment email. Tried finding my page but it wasn't anywhere I could get to. Ordered mine about the same time as you and it arrived by mail this past Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02Sled Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Don't forget... mail is likely delayed due to the post office strike. Friend ordered his on the 19th and was wondering if he should be concerned. It arrived today. He hadn't had any mail in days and all of a sudden got a "chunk".

SRXChris Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 OK thanks I see I'm not the only one. I know there are rotating strikes but since I getting mail shipped to me after that date from other parts of Canada and arriving before this I was wondering. Still no insight onto the "My page" or where it's located on that mess of a homepage. I see the frustration people have with this org. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the "my page" seems hard to find by navigating the ofsc site. Go to Google and search for 'ofsc my page' and I think you might land at the right place....which is https://permits.ofsc.on.ca Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
