Requested reporting period — Ontario Driver Abstract
The requested reporting period is the span of history the recipient wants a document to describe. It is different from how recently a copy must have been issued. Ontario's common three-year driver record and individual five-year CVOR Driver Abstract illustrate why a request should identify the product as well as a period.
Meaning in this reference
The requested reporting period is the span of history the recipient wants a document to describe. It is different from how recently a copy must have been issued. Ontario's common three-year driver record and individual five-year CVOR Driver Abstract illustrate why a request should identify the product as well as a period.
Use the term in context
A message asking for a five-year history is not automatically a request for the individual CVOR product. Confirm the subject and kind of driving information required before choosing it. Likewise, an instruction to obtain a recently issued record does not expand a three-year product into a longer-term record. Resolve those details with the recipient rather than substituting one document silently.
