Local tips
A-1 Licence & Registry is at 106 - 8716 108 St in Grande Prairie, only about 60 m from 108 Street itself, which carries Highway 40 and is posted at 60 km/h. Hours vary, so call the registry at 780-539-5009 to confirm before you go, and keep in mind that road tests are by appointment. The area around the office is heavily signalled. Map data counts 14 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, the nearest about 225 m away, so watch each light well ahead and be ready to stop on a stale yellow rather than rush it. There are also railway level crossings about 800 m and 1.2 km from the registry. Slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. Our 32.6 km practice route heads up 108 Street onto 116 Avenue, then loops around on 92 Street and 68 Avenue before coming back by Kateri Drive and 108 Street. Since the 92 Street and 68 Avenue section repeats, use the second lap to work on steady speed and a shoulder check before every right turn.
Common questions
A-1 Licence & Registry road test FAQ
What are the hours at A-1 Licence & Registry?
Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call A-1 Licence & Registry at 780-539-5009 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through A-1 Licence & Registry's road test booking page (the "Official booking" button on this page, also listed on alberta.ca), or in person at the registry. You'll need your 9-digit MVID number, printed near the barcode on your licence, and any outstanding Government of Alberta fines must be paid first. Registry agents set their own road test fees, up to the maximum in the province's Registry Agent Product Catalogue, so confirm the fee when you book.
What do I need for the road test?
A vehicle that meets all legal and safety requirements, plus the documents listed on the registry's road test information sheet and in your confirmation letter. The information sheet also covers eligibility, fees, and the registry's cancellation and no-show policies.
How long do I need my learner's licence first, and how is the test marked?
You must have held a Class 7 learner's licence for at least one year and be at least 16 (with a parent's or guardian's written consent if you're under 18). You fail the Class 5 road test with more than 75 points, or automatically if you endanger someone, drive unsafely or break traffic laws. After you pass the road test and a vision test, you get a probationary Class 5-GDL licence, which you hold for at least two years.
Is a practice route available for A-1 Licence & Registry?
Yes. This page has a 32.6 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
