Now that the government is no longer
sending notices in the mail reminding
Albertans when it’s time to renew their
vehicle registration, it’s more important
than ever that you take the necessary
steps to make sure you know when
your renewal month is so that it is
processed in time to receive your:
• new validation sticker to display on
your valid licence plate
• vehicle registration card
When coming in to renew your
registration make sure to bring your
vehicles current insurance slip.
To replace your lost or stolen plate, year sticker or registration, you will be required to provide your operator’s licence or two pieces of identification as well provide your licence plate number to our office and pay the required fee.
Come in to our office to order your personalized plate today. We will make sure that your plate is available and send the proper documents up to the government to complete the order. Personalized plates are $214 and gift certificates are available for personalized plates.
