History
The Licensing and Control Division was formed in 1974 within the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications. The division consisted of the Drivers Branch and the Vehicles Branch, and reported to the Assistant Deputy Minister of Drivers and Vehicles. In January 1976, the Licensing and Control Division was reduced to branch status. With this change, the Drivers Branch and the Vehicles Branch became offices within the new Licensing and Control Branch.

Maintenance notes
Canadiana's heading may need to be revisited. It is hard to understand why this agency has been subordinated to the division and not the Ministry.
