Local tips
Two fire stations sit within about 215 m of Athabasca Registries, which is at 4801 49 St. The nearer one is only about 115 m away, so listen for sirens and be ready to pull over and stop for emergency vehicles. Registry hours vary; call 780-675-5429 before you go, and book your road test by appointment. Old Brick School is about 175 m from the office and other schools are about 640 m and 715 m away, so watch for children on weekdays. 50 Street, part of Highway 2, is posted at 50 km/h about 155 m away, and there is a single set of traffic lights about 365 m off. A bridge on 50 Avenue is about 480 m away. Our 54.0 km practice route follows 48 Avenue to 50 Street and Highway 2, heads out on Township Road 660 and Range Roads 231 and 232, and comes back on Highway 55 and through town via 47 Street and 49 Avenue. On the rural roads, practice smooth braking and watching for vehicles entering from side roads.
Common questions
Athabasca Registries road test FAQ
What are the hours at Athabasca Registries?
Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Athabasca Registries Inc. at 780-675-5429 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Athabasca Registries 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 Athabasca Registries?
Yes. This page has a 54.0 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
