Do I need to provide driver’s license # and a copy of vehicle insurance upon offer of a job position?

by admin on December 14, 2009 · 4 comments

First thing first, I’m from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I was recently offered a job and I needed to provide few things in its employment sheet.

1. SIN(no problem with this one)
2. A void cheque (no problem again)
3. A copy of vehicle insurance and driver’s licence (???????)

What’s with #3?… So far no other employers that I know of asked those two things.
Sorry, I should’ve mentioned, It’s an office job that do not require driving.
Apparently, I didn’t need to provide those info since I don’t work as a driver as you all said. Thanks everyone.

If you need to drive and use your own car to do the job… yes.

If the job requires you to drive then they might ask for that…

If your job requires driving, employers can certainly request your vehicle insurance and driver’s license. Some employers will go further and request a copy of your driving record. It depends on how necessary driving is to your job.
