Renewing an Operators license

Renewal forms for operator’s licenses are generally mailed to clients four to six weeks before the expiry of the license. Renewals must be done in person. Only residents of Alberta are eligible to renew.
Anyone 75 years or older is required to submit a medical report and have their vision checked. Medical reports are also required for holders of Class 1, 2, and 4 licenses and for all licenses with a condition code “C” endorsement.

Replacing a lost or stolen license

If your licence has been lost, stolen or destroyed, you may obtain a replacement licence by visiting our office.
You will be required to present two pieces of identification.
For a list of acceptable identification please call us at (403) 288-3333 or email us at services@aplusregistry.com

Exchanging a Non-Alberta Operators License

A valid licence from another Canadian jurisdiction can be exchanged for an equivalent class (Classes 1 through 7). Testing is not normally required, but a vision test and a medical is necessary when exchanging for a Class 1, 2 or 4 licence. We require proof of Canadian citizenship or immigration documentation and proof of residency.
A valid licence from an American jurisdiction can be exchanged for a Class 5, 6, or 7 licence only. Anyone coming from outside Canada and the United States is required to meet residency requirements and to undergo complete testing. Applicants exchanging a licence from Austria, Belgium, Republic of Korea, Switzerland, Japan, Germany or UK will not be required to undergo testing because of our reciprocal licensing agreements with these countries.

Identification Card

A photo identification card is available to an individual who is not the holder of a valid Alberta Operator’s Licence. The card is clearly marked for identification purposes and does not entitle the person to operate a motor vehicle under any circumstances.
To obtain an ID card the person must bring in two pieces of identification, one preferably a Birth Certificate, proof of Canadian or immigration documentation and proof of residency. The minimum age is 12, and applicants under the age of 18 must provide parental consent.

Drivers Record and abstract

A Driver’s Abstract shows your driving history for the previous 3, 5 or 10 years. You may obtain your own driving record in person by producing identification. An abstract is a summarized record of all traffic violations during the specified period. It is useful for presentation to an insurance agent and for employment applications. A third party may obtain your abstract only with your written consent.

Please click here for the Statement of Consent.

If you are out of province and require an abstract you may either authorize an Alberta Resident who is able to go into an Alberta Registry office to obtain your Alberta Driver’s License for you (Please click here for the Statement of Consent) or you must complete a Notarized Request for Personal Driving and Motor Vehicle Information form with a Notary (Please see our Useful Forms section for the Notarized Request).
