Local tips

Ellerslie Registry sits at 971 James Mowatt Trail SW in Edmonton. Hours vary, so call the registry at 780-423-3228 to confirm before you go, and remember that road tests are by appointment. The first thing you will notice is the number of signals: map data counts 36 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre, the closest about 215 metres away. Look well ahead at each light so a change to yellow never catches you off guard. Ellerslie Road SW and 111 Street SW are both posted at 60 km/h, so keep an eye on your speedometer as you join them. Roberta MacAdams School is about 355 metres from the registry, so slow down and watch for students on weekdays. Our 33.5 km practice route follows James Mowatt Trail SW onto the Anthony Henday Drive ramp, then uses Rabbit Hill Road NW, Tory Road NW, Heritage Valley Trail SW and 111 Street SW. On the Anthony Henday stretches, practice building speed on the ramp, checking your blind spot and merging smoothly.

Common questions

Ellerslie Registry road test FAQ

What are the hours at Ellerslie Registry?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Ellerslie Registry at 780-423-3228 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Ellerslie 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 Ellerslie Registry?

Yes. This page has a 33.5 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
