After your renewal, address change, or name change is processed, you will receive an interim driver’s licence.

Your new driver’s licence card is mailed to the address on your Alberta record. Make sure your mailing address is correct before the transaction is completed.
The interim licence does not include a photo, so you may want to carry another form of photo identification if you expect to need photo ID before your new card arrives.
