A confirmation letter may answer a different question — Drivers Abstract Ontario
My Drivers Abstract’s Ontario driver-record reference for Drivers Abstract Ontario: A driver confirmation letter is a separate Ontario product, not another name for the common driver abstract.
Find out what information must be confirmed
A request to confirm a licensing detail may concern information that a standard driver record does not provide. Ontario describes driver confirmation letters separately from driver records. Start with the exact fact the recipient wants confirmed and preserve any named product in its instructions. Do not turn the word letter into a promise that an abstract will be sufficient. A document can contain useful driver information and still be different from the particular confirmation the recipient requested.
Compare the official descriptions before substituting
The common driving-record page explains the three-year record and licence history. Ontario's longer-term page also describes confirmation letters and copies of driver documents. These categories should remain distinct when you read the instructions. A letter is not automatically broader than a record, and an ordinary record should not be represented as an official confirmation letter simply because someone has attached an explanatory cover note. Identify the product that addresses the stated question instead of choosing by how formal a title sounds.
Use the route that supplies the actual product
For an illustrative request, write down the requested confirmation, the recipient, the issuing jurisdiction and the official product named in the instructions. Resolve an ambiguous point with the requester before paying for a different document. My Drivers Abstract's identified commercial services do not include Ontario driver confirmation letters. The link for this entry therefore goes to the official longer-term records and letters information rather than to a private abstract checkout. Read that source for current application requirements and available ordering routes. This preserves a clear distinction between explaining a product, ordering it and deciding whether it answers the recipient's question.
