PLEASE NOTE: The Alberta Government no longer sends out reminder notices to Albertans to renew their licence plates or driver’s/identification cards! That’s why we are now offering a registration reminder service for our clients. Click on our r-reminder service link to get a free text or email reminder!
Please remember, for licence plate renewals, come in early to avoid month-end, last-minute lineups, and remember to bring your proof of insurance (pink card) for licence plate registrations AND renewals as we are required to annually confirm that you have valid insurance on your vehicle.
Driver’s licence and identification card renewals occur on your birthday or permit anniversary instead of month end. We are open from
9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Mondays – Fridays
11:00 AM to 4:00 PM – Saturdays
to help you avoid any daytime lineups!
