Residency Application
If you are denied a Manitoba driver’s licence by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles (Manitoba Public Insurance) as a result of not satisfying the proof of residency requirements, you are eligible to apply to the Licence Suspension Appeal Board (LSAB) for an Appeal Application for Residency.
In order to submit an Appeal Application for a Residency Hearing before the Licence Suspension Appeal Board (LSAB), you will need to provide the following
Each application must be accompanied by:
- Application for Appeal Form
- A copy of the cancellation letter from the Registrar of Motor Vehicles (Manitoba Public Insurance) with your appeal.
- A copy of the letter of reasons for cancellation from the Registrar of Motor Vehicles (Manitoba Public Insurance).
- Non-refundable fee of $250.00:
- By mail: Cheque or money order payable to the MINISTER OF FINANCE
- In person: Cash, cheque, money order, debit, MasterCard or Visa
- Online: E-transfer, MasterCard or Visa. Contact the office for instructions
Please be advised that it may take fourteen to sixteen (14-16) weeks to process your application. You will receive a “Notice of Hearing” by mail approximately three to four (3-4) weeks prior to your hearing date. If you anticipate that you may be away when a hearing date is scheduled, please advise the Licence Suspension Appeal Board (LSAB) by contacting our office immediately.
Once you have been scheduled for a hearing, you are required to attend. You may request an adjournment of your hearing date; however, they are only granted in exceptional circumstances (medical emergency - documentation is required) and your hearing will not be re-rescheduled on a priority basis. If you do not appear or contact our office, your appeal will be cancelled, and your file will be closed.
Once the hearing is complete, the Board will meet and discuss your application. The decision is not made at/or during your hearing. Once a decision is made, you will be notified by mail via Canada Post. It takes approximately fifteen (15) business days from the date of your hearing for you to receive the Board’s decision.
