Local tips
Altafacts Search & Registry is at 100 - 2417 51 Ave SE, and its standout feature is the railway. Map data shows six level crossings clustered about 250 to 270 m from the office. Treat every one the same way: slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. To check opening hours, which vary, call 403-235-7888; road tests are by appointment. Barlow Trail SE, four lanes at 70 km/h, is about 110 m away, and Deerfoot Trail SE (Highway 2), posted at 100 km/h, is about 590 m off. With 28 sets of lights within a kilometre, the nearest about 120 m away, you will be stopping and starting a lot, so keep a safe gap to the vehicle ahead. The practice route is a compact 8.3 km loop of about 16 minutes. It uses 51 Avenue SE, 23 Street SE and 50 Avenue SE to reach Barlow Trail SE, then 61 Avenue SE, 40 Street SE, 54 Avenue SE and 52 Street SE. Because it is short, drive it several times and focus on lane position when turning onto the wider roads.
Common questions
Altafacts Search & Registry Inc road test FAQ
What are the hours at Altafacts Search & Registry Inc?
Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Altafacts Search & Registry Inc. at 403-235-7888 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Altafacts Search & Registry Inc.'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 Altafacts Search & Registry Inc?
Yes. This page has a 8.3 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
