  "description": "Apply to the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO), through a ServiceOntario Driver and Vehicle Licence Issuing Office, either to register a private vehicle for the first time and attach new number plates, or to apply for a replacement of a lost, stolen, or damaged vehicle permit, validation sticker, or number plates — both transactions use the same Application for Vehicle Registration form (SR-LV-006E). This is Ontario's Vehicle Registration/Tag/Title-family counterpart to the already-published nz/nzta/vehicle-licence-renewal and nl/rdw/vehicle-ownership-transfer: Canada (all provinces, not only Ontario) had a Drivers Licence Renewal schema (ca/on/mto/drivers-licence-renewal) but no Vehicle Registration/Tag/Title schema at all before this one. Models an ordinary individual registering an eligible passenger-class vehicle (passenger, motorcycle, moped, off-road vehicle, trailer, or motorized snow vehicle) or requesting a replacement document/plate, including the registrant/address/vehicle-identification fields, the vehicle-status declaration, the replacement-specific fields, and the compulsory automobile insurance certification. It does not model: commercial, bus, farm, dealer/manufacturer, or other business-fleet vehicle classes and their associated declarations (Section 5's CVOR/farm-truck/school-bus/historic-vehicle/low-speed-vehicle declarations); an ownership transfer between two individuals (a distinct 'Transfer' transaction type on the same form's office-use section, with no dedicated buyer/seller fields on the applicant-facing pages — a separate future schema); a gross-weight/seating-capacity change (Section 6); or the routine, non-eventful annual licence-plate renewal already reachable through ServiceOntario's own online/automatic renewal service (a separate, still-uncaptured live wizard — see the ca/on/mto/vehicle-permit-renewal discovery candidate). It does not submit the application; the live ServiceOntario service and the applicant's local Issuing Office are always authoritative — see VERIFICATION.md.",

This is a genuine fillable AcroForm (XFA) PDF with 128 real, named form-field widgets across 4 pages — richer sourcing than a static/flattened form, each field's own alternativeText/tooltip transcribed verbatim into this schema's sourceRef values. Page 4 ('Office Use Only') is staff-completed, not applicant-facing, and was used only as corroborating context (its 'Transaction Type' checklist confirms 'Original Registration' and 'Replacement' as the two transaction types this schema models). The live ServiceOntario/MTO transactional counter process itself is only reachable in person at an Issuing Office; no public online field-by-field walkthrough exists for this specific form. Status remains draft, not verified."
