Residential address — Drivers Abstract
A residential address describes where a person lives. Ontario states that its common three-year driver record does not include that address. This omission is part of the product's described contents, so the absence of an address should not be treated as a claim about the person's residence or as proof of an identity problem.
Meaning in this reference
A residential address describes where a person lives. Ontario states that its common three-year driver record does not include that address. This omission is part of the product's described contents, so the absence of an address should not be treated as a claim about the person's residence or as proof of an identity problem.
Use the term in context
Keep residence, issuing jurisdiction and the recipient's location as separate details in a record request. An Ontario abstract should not be assumed to supply address evidence simply because the person currently lives in Ontario. If a recipient needs information outside the chosen product, ask which document it expects rather than adding an unsupported statement to the abstract.
