If your Alberta driver’s licence has been lost, stolen, damaged, or destroyed, you can apply for a replacement driver’s licence through an Alberta registry agent.

Once the replacement is processed, you will receive an interim driver’s licence while your new card is mailed to you.

If your licence was stolen, it is recommended that you contact the police and obtain a police case report number. This number may be recorded with Alberta registries when your replacement application is processed.

In most cases, you should prepare:
Documents must be original, valid, and accepted by Alberta registry services.

In some cases, you may need to provide proof of Alberta residency and proof of legal entitlement to be in Canada.
This is especially important if you are applying remotely, if your licence has expired, or if the registry agent needs additional confirmation before issuing the replacement.

The current Accu-Search replacement licence fee is $28.00.

Accu-Search can confirm the applicable fee before completing the transaction.
After the replacement is processed, you will receive an interim driver’s licence that is valid for 60 days.
Your new Alberta driver’s licence card will be mailed to the address on your Alberta record, usually within two to three weeks.
Make sure your mailing address is correct before the replacement is completed.
