Local tips

Downtown Lethbridge is dense with signals, and Astro Insurance at 100 - 542 7 St S is right in the middle of them. Map data counts 54 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, with the nearest just about 40 and 50 m from the door. Approach each intersection ready to stop and keep your eyes moving for turning vehicles. Call 403-320-6700 to confirm hours, which vary; road tests are by appointment only. 6 Avenue S runs about 40 m away at 50 km/h, and Whoop-Up Drive, about 365 m away, is posted at 60 km/h. Two roundabouts lie about 285 and 300 m away: yield to traffic already in the circle and signal your exit. Fire Headquarters Station 1 is about 620 m from the registry, so be ready to pull over when you hear sirens. Our 42.3 km practice route uses 6 Avenue S and Scenic Drive S, then 43 Street S, 26 Avenue N, 28 Street N and Mayor Magrath Drive N. On the busy downtown blocks, practice planning lane changes well before your turn.

Common questions

Astro Insurance road test FAQ

What are the hours at Astro Insurance?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Astro Insurance & License Registry Services at 403-320-6700 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Astro Insurance & License Registry Services'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 Astro Insurance?

Yes. This page has a 42.3 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
