Alberta Registry eReminder Service

Get Renewal Reminders by Email or Text

The eReminder Service helps you receive reminders before important Alberta registry renewal dates.

You can sign up for reminders for vehicle registration, company vehicle registration, driver’s licence or identification card renewal, and corporate annual return filing.

This service is useful if you want advance notice before something expires, but it does not complete the renewal for you. You are still responsible for renewing your registration, licence, ID card, or corporate annual return before the deadline.

Accu-Search can help you understand which reminder option applies and direct you to the correct next step.

What Is the eReminder Service?

The eReminder Service is a free reminder service for selected Alberta registry renewals.

It allows individuals and businesses to receive renewal notices by email or text message before a renewal or filing date is due.

You can use the service to help track upcoming dates, reduce the risk of missed renewals, and keep better control of registry-related deadlines.

What You Can Get Reminded About

You can sign up for reminders for:

  • Vehicle registration renewal
  • Company vehicle registration renewal
  • Driver’s licence renewal
  • Alberta identification card renewal
  • Corporate annual return filing
  • Other notices recommended by your selected registry office

The reminder categories you choose should match the registry dates you want to track.

Vehicle Registration Renewal Reminders

Vehicle registration renewal reminders help you remember when your Alberta vehicle registration is coming due.

This can be useful because Alberta vehicle registration expiry dates are not the same for everyone. Your expiry month depends on the renewal schedule connected to the registrant.

A vehicle registration reminder does not renew the registration for you. It only reminds you before the renewal is due.

If you want the registration to renew automatically each year, you may need the Auto Renewal service instead.

Company Vehicle Registration Reminders

Businesses can also sign up for company vehicle registration reminders.

This is useful for corporations, numbered companies, and businesses that manage company vehicles and need to stay organized around vehicle registration expiry dates.

Company vehicle reminders may be especially helpful when multiple vehicles need to be tracked or when renewal dates follow a quarterly schedule.

Driver’s Licence and ID Card Renewal Reminders

You can sign up for reminders for your Alberta driver’s licence or identification card.

Driver’s licences and ID cards have their own expiry dates, so reminders can help you avoid missing the renewal window.

If your driver’s licence or ID card is already expired, or if you need to update your name, address, or other personal information, you may need to complete a renewal or update through a registry agent.

The eReminder Service only sends the reminder. It does not renew the licence or ID card.

Corporate Annual Return Reminders

The eReminder Service can also help with corporate annual return reminders.

This is useful for Alberta corporations that need to remember annual return filing deadlines and avoid missing important corporate registry dates.

A corporate annual return reminder does not file the annual return for you. It only helps notify you before the filing date so you can complete the required corporate registry step.

eReminder Service vs. Auto Renewal

The eReminder Service and Auto Renewal are different.

The eReminder Service sends you a notice before a renewal is due. It does not process the renewal, charge a payment method, or issue a new registration.

Auto Renewal is designed to process eligible vehicle registration renewals automatically when the renewal month arrives.

Use the eReminder Service if you only want a reminder.

Use Auto Renewal if you want eligible vehicle registration to be renewed automatically each year.

How Email and Text eReminder Notices Are Sent

When you sign up, you choose the reminder categories and contact methods that apply to you.

Reminder options may include:

  • Email reminders
  • Text message reminders
  • Vehicle registration reminders
  • Company vehicle registration reminders
  • Driver’s licence or ID card reminders
  • Corporate annual return reminders

You may also be asked to choose a registry office. Choosing a registry office allows your reminder notice to include registry contact information, but it does not require you to renew with that office.

Reminder Timing

The eReminder Service sends reminder notices before the renewal or filing date is due.

For reminder subscriptions, you may receive more than one reminder notice for the same renewal. Company vehicle reminders may follow a different schedule if the company vehicle registration renews quarterly.

You should still check the expiry date on your registration, driver’s licence, identification card, or corporate records. A reminder is helpful, but it should not be your only way of tracking an important deadline.

What You Need to Sign Up

To sign up for eReminder notices, you may need to provide:

  • Your preferred registry office
  • Email address
  • Mobile phone number, if you want text reminders
  • Vehicle registration details, if adding vehicle reminders
  • Company vehicle details, if adding company vehicle reminders
  • Driver’s licence or ID card details, if adding personal reminders
  • Corporate information, if adding annual return reminders

Your reminder account should be updated if your contact information, name, vehicle information, or renewal details change.

Who Should Use the eReminder Service?

The eReminder Service may be useful if you:

  • Want a simple reminder before a renewal is due
  • Prefer email or text reminders
  • Manage more than one personal vehicle
  • Manage company vehicles
  • Want to track a driver’s licence or ID card expiry date
  • Need reminders for corporate annual return filing
  • Do not want your vehicle registration renewed automatically
  • Want to reduce the risk of missing important registry dates

This service is best for users who want advance notice but still want to complete the renewal themselves.
