Select registry services available remotely in Alberta
To help limit the number of Albertans who need to visit registry agents in person, the Government of Alberta is temporarily allowing registry agents to provide corporate registry services, personal property registry services, and select motor vehicle services by phone, secure email, fax or mail.
The Government of Alberta has identified registry agents as an essential service. Some registry agents have voluntarily closed, and others may be operating with reduced hours. Albertans should phone ahead to ensure the agent is open.
Albertans with driver’s licences, ID cards and vehicle registrations expiring March 17 through May 14 have until May 15 to renew.
There are some services that registry agents cannot process remotely, and therefore require in-person service, including new driver’s licence or ID card applications, driver’s licence and ID card renewals requiring an updated photo, and vital Statistics services, such as ordering birth or death certificates
