# How to Enter Your Driver’s License Dates When Applying for Insurance

When you’re filling out your insurance application, you might see a question asking for the **dates you got your driver’s licenses**.

Don’t worry — it’s not as complicated as it sounds. Different provinces use different license names and numbers, but insurance companies are really just looking for the **three big milestones** in your driving journey:

1. The date you got your **learner’s license** (your first step)
2. The date you moved up to your **novice/probationary license** (your upgrade)
3. The date you got your **full license** (your “you’re officially free to drive anywhere” moment 🚗💨)

**By Province, It Looks Like This**

* **Ontario:** G1 → G2 → G
* **Alberta:** Class 7 → Class 5-GDL → Class 5
* **British Columbia:** L → N → Full License
* **New Brunswick (NB):** Class 7 → Class 5 (after graduated period)
* **Newfoundland & Labrador (NL):** Class 5, Level I → Class 5, Level II → Class 5 (Full)
* **Nova Scotia (NS):** Learner’s License → Newly Licensed Driver (N) → Restricted Individual → Full License
* **Prince Edward Island (PEI):** Instruction Permit → Stage 1 (Novice) → Stage 2 (Novice) → Class 5 (Full)

**What if You Don’t Remember the Dates?**

* If you’re not 100% sure of the **exact day**, that’s okay — just make sure you get the **year right**.
* Want to be extra accurate? You can grab a **driver’s abstract** from your provincial licensing authority.
* Can’t get one right now? No stress — your best estimate (with the right year) works fine.

✅ **Quick Tip:**

Even if your license number or class name changes when you move provinces, your **milestone dates never do**. Stick to the dates you actually earned your learner, novice, and full license.
