The 407 Transponder Application is a paper-based PDF. You will need to print it, complete it by hand, and submit it to Highway 407 ETR. The guide below explains what each section asks for and what documents to gather before you start.
Step 1: Confirm your applicant type
Determine whether you are applying as an individual or a business. Personal applicants provide a home address and a valid Ontario driver's license number. Business applicants include the registered company name and must have an authorized representative sign the completed form before submission.
Step 2: Select the correct transponder type
The form asks you to choose a transponder model based on your vehicle class. Passenger cars and light trucks use the STICKER transponder, which adheres to the inside of your windshield. Larger commercial vehicles require the TAG transponder, a removable unit that clips to the visor. If you are unsure which type applies to your vehicle, check the 407 ETR website for the current vehicle classification guide.
Step 3: Provide your vehicle and plate details
Ontario residents enter their Ontario license plate number directly on the form. Applicants from outside Ontario must attach a copy of their vehicle's plate registration document. If you are registering more than one vehicle, list each plate separately. You can apply for multiple transponders on a single application as long as all vehicles belong to the same account holder.
Step 4: Choose a payment method
Two payment options are available. The first is automatic bank deduction, where 407 ETR withdraws the monthly charges directly from your bank account. The second is an annual payment, which may qualify for a small discount. Provide a void cheque or your bank account number and transit information for automatic deduction setup. A refundable security deposit is also required at the time of application.
Step 5: Sign and submit the completed form
Review every section of the form before signing. Incomplete or unsigned applications are returned, which delays transponder delivery. Business applicants must have an authorized company representative sign in the designated field. Submit the signed form along with all required documents to 407 ETR by mail or in person at an authorized customer service location.
Frequently asked questions about the 407 Transponder Application
Do I need a transponder to use Highway 407 ETR?
No, a transponder is not required to use the highway. Drivers without one are billed at the plate toll rate, which is calculated from camera-recorded license plate data and is higher than the transponder toll rate. A transponder is the more cost-effective option for anyone who uses the highway regularly.
What documents do I need to apply?
You will need a valid Ontario license plate number or a copy of your out-of-province plate registration, a void cheque or bank account details for automatic payment, and your driver's license information for identity verification. Business applicants also need the company's legal name and an authorized representative's signature.
How long does it take to receive the transponder after submitting the form?
Processing times vary. 407 ETR typically ships approved transponders within 5 to 10 business days of receiving a complete application. The form must be signed and all supporting documents attached to avoid processing delays.
Can a business apply for several transponders on one form?
Yes. Businesses can list multiple vehicles on the same application. Each vehicle must have its own transponder, and all license plates are recorded separately on the form. Fleet accounts that generate multiple monthly bills can request the One Simple Bill option to consolidate all charges into a single statement.
