Steps to Renew Your Vehicle Registration and Driver's Licence Online
Renewing your vehicle registration and driver's licence online in Alberta is straightforward. If you hold a class 3, 5, 6, or 7 driver's licence, here are the steps to follow:
1. Check Your Eligibility
Before starting the online renewal process, make sure that you meet the eligibility criteria. You can renew online if:
You have a verified MyAlberta account.
Your vehicle is registered in Alberta.
You have not received a notice to provide additional documentation.
Your driver's licence has not expired for more than three years.
You have a valid Alberta driver's licence.
You have a valid credit card (VISA, MasterCard or American Express)
You have a current web browser (Internet Explorer 6 or higher, Firefox, Chrome, or Safari).
2. Login or Create an Account
You can complete your online renewal directly on MyAlberta eSERVICES. You must have a MyAlberta Digital ID (MADI) with the government of Alberta. You can renew and download/print your documents at home.
If you have previously used the online services, log in with your credentials. You will need to create an account if you are a new user. This process typically requires your email address and some personal information.
3. Enter Your Vehicle Information
Once logged in, you will be prompted to enter your vehicle details, including your licence plate number, VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), and any other required information.
4. Review Your Information
Check all entered information for accuracy. This step is crucial to avoid delays or issues with your renewal.
5. Make Your Payment
After verifying your information, you will proceed to the payment section. Ensure you have a valid credit or debit card ready for the transaction. The renewal fees vary depending on your vehicle type and registration period.
6. Receive Confirmation
After completing the payment, you will receive a confirmation email. This email will prove your renewal until you receive your new registration documents.
When to Visit a Registry Office in Person
While many renewals can be completed online, there are situations where an in-person visit to a registry office is necessary. You will need to visit Registry @South Trail Crossing Ltd. or another registry office if:
Your Driver’s Licence is Expired: If your licence is expired, you must visit a registry office to renew it in person.
You Need to Update Personal Information: If you have changed your name or address since your last registration, you must provide documentation in person to update your records.
Your Vehicle Requires Inspection: Certain vehicles may need a safety inspection or other assessments before renewal. In such cases, you will need to visit a registry office.
You Have Outstanding Fines or Fees: If you have unpaid fines or fees for your vehicle or driver's licence, you must resolve these in person before completing your renewal.

Renewing your vehicle registration and driver's licence online offers numerous benefits for Albertans:
Timesaving: Complete your renewal from your home to avoid long lines and wait times at registry offices.
24/7 Access: The online renewal service is available 24/7, allowing you to complete your renewal at your convenience.
