Local tips

Roundabouts are the thing to prepare for at Mac Insurance and Registry's south Edmonton office, 5053 Ellerslie Road SW. Map data shows four of them within about 1.1 km, the closest about 400 m away. Slow down on the approach, yield to traffic already in the circle and signal before you take your exit. Ellerslie Road SW runs about 35 m from the door and 50 Street SW about 145 m away, both posted at 60 km/h, so practice reaching that speed smoothly after a turn. There are 27 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, the nearest about 105 m away, plus 22 marked crosswalks within 800 m. Hours vary, so phone the registry at 587-520-6222 to confirm before you go; road tests are by appointment. Our 38.8 km practice route starts on 52 Street SW and Ellerslie Road SW, then works through 66 Street SW, Knottwood Road South NW and Mill Woods Road West NW before taking the Whitemud Drive East ramp. On that ramp, check your mirror and blind spot early and match the speed of traffic before you merge.

Common questions

Edmonton (South) Mac Insurance and Registry road test FAQ

What are the hours at Edmonton (South) Mac Insurance and Registry?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Mac Insurance and Registry - South Edmonton at 587-520-6222 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Mac Insurance and Registry - South Edmonton'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.
