Digital Government and Service NL has established a temporary Motor Registration office to assist residents of the southwest coast who have had their driver’s licences, photo identification cards and/or vehicle registration documents lost as a result of Hurricane Fiona.

Based on public demand, services are being offered out of the Provincial Court House in Channel-Port Aux Basques until 2:00 p.m. Friday of this week (October 14). The department will reassess the need to provide services for next week.

As residents begin to rebuild their homes, communities and lives, they will need these documents to access such things as banking services (e.g., credit/debit card replacement), financial relief programs (e.g., Canadian Red Cross) and insurance claims.
