Where to write the G1 test in Ontario

You write the G1 at a DriveTest Centre. As of October 2026, DriveTest lists 56 full-time centres and 36 part-time Travel Points across Ontario, and full-time centres take you without an appointment. Only one ServiceOntario office gives the test: Bay and College in downtown Toronto, by appointment. To find the closest place to you, use DriveTest’s centre finder.

Find your nearest centre

  1. Open DriveTest’s Find a DriveTest Centre page, or the alphabetical list if you already know the town.
  2. Pick the closest centre and check its hours for the day you want to go.
  3. Get there at least an hour before it closes. Go earlier on Saturdays and school holidays, when lines are longest.
  4. Bring your ID, the $159.75 fee and your glasses if you drive with them.

Full-time centres and Travel Points

Full-time DriveTest Centres are open on regular weekly hours, and you can walk in for the G1 test, first come, first served.

A Travel Point is a part-time DriveTest Centre that serves a smaller town, often from a shared local building. It’s only open on certain dates, so check its schedule on drivetest.ca or phone ahead before you make the trip.

Toronto, Brampton, Hamilton and London

DriveTest lists full-time centres in Brampton, Hamilton and London, and three in Toronto: Downsview, Etobicoke and Metro East. Any of them will take you for the G1 without booking.

Addresses and hours do change, so look the centre up on drivetest.ca the day before you go rather than trusting an old map listing.

Can you take the G1 at ServiceOntario?

Usually not. ontario.ca names just one ServiceOntario location for the knowledge test: Bay and College, on the lower level of 777 Bay Street in downtown Toronto. It gives written tests by appointment only and doesn’t take walk-ins for them.

ServiceOntario doesn’t give road tests at all. Those are booked through DriveTest and taken at DriveTest Centres and Travel Points.
