Your Guide to the OSAP Forgot Password Form

Key Takeaways

• If you’ve forgotten your OSAP password or require an OSAP Access Number (OAN), you must complete a commissioned form to address those issues.
• Ontario allows remote identity validation for the required form through authorized platforms like NotaryPro.
• You can speak to a NotaryPro representative via video call, confirm your identity, and electronically sign the form from home.
• Even an older version of the necessary form with the outdated “in-person” instructions can be completed remotely if the applicant’s identity is validated during the virtual appointment.
• During the video call, you must present your Social Insurance Number (SIN) and a government-issued photo ID.

The good news is that as of October 2021, the Ontario government recently updated the requirements for completion of the OSAP Website: Forgot Password and/or OSAP Access Number form to allow remote identity validation by authorized third-party officials, such as NotaryPro.

Now you can retrieve your OSAP Access Number (OAN) and/or reset your passwords for the OSAP website by meeting with a NotaryPro rep via simple online video and quickly electronically sign this form, all from the comfort of home.

However if you still have an older version of this form (i.e., one that notes the previous “in-person” requirement, but has been electronically signed and the individual’s identity validated remotely), NotaryPro’s remote online notary service can still be used to validate your identity and electronically sign.

When booking these appointments, you must provide NotaryPro with proof of your Social Insurance Number and government-issued photo ID during the video call (rather than emailed, or uploaded to a website).
