ServiceOntario

ServiceOntario is an agency of the Ministry of Government and Consumer Services which provides a single point of contact for most government services in the province of Ontario, Canada. Established in 2006, it provides services primarily online and in-person at storefront locations; it also operates telephone call centres.[1]

Some services were also formerly provided by automated ServiceOntario self-service kiosks located primarily in shopping malls.[1] Following the discovery in 2012 that illegal card skimming devices were installed on some kiosks in the Greater Toronto Area, all kiosks were shutdown province-wide for security reasons.[2] The provincial government permanently discontinued the kiosks later that year.[3]
