Supporting documents — Drivers Abstract
Supporting documents are additional documents a recipient asks for alongside, or instead of, the familiar abstract. Ontario lists longer-term records and confirmation letters separately from its common driver-record options. Their presence in the official catalogue does not mean that every request needs all of them or that a standard private order includes them.

Supporting documents are additional documents a recipient asks for alongside, or instead of, the familiar abstract.

Use the term in context
When coordinating several requests, record the purpose and issuer expected for each document. Ask whether a specific Ontario letter or record is intended, and use the relevant official instructions. A group of files should not be described as complete Canada-wide history merely because several documents were assembled. Acceptance in another jurisdiction remains a question for that recipient and issuer.
