Local tips

Nanton Registries sits at 2207 20 Ave, and 20 Avenue, which carries Highways 2 and 533, runs only about 25 m away at a posted 50 km/h. Check carefully for gaps before pulling out. Hours vary, so call 403-646-2900 to confirm, and book ahead, as road tests are by appointment. The Nanton Fire Hall is about 325 m away; if a fire truck comes up behind you, signal, pull over and stop. Map data counts 35 marked crosswalks within 800 m, and J.T. Foster High School and A. B. Daley Community School are about 725 m and 760 m away, so watch for students on weekdays. A bridge on Highway 533 is about 550 m away. Our 40.6 km practice route takes about 100 minutes: it leaves on 22 Street, follows 20 Avenue out of town to 26 Avenue, Township Road 163 and Range Road 284, uses Highway 533 and Range Road 290, and returns by 23 Street. Practice slowing early when the highway speed drops back to town speed.

Common questions

Nanton Registries road test FAQ

What are the hours at Nanton Registries?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Nanton Registries at 403-646-2900 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Nanton Registries'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 Nanton Registries?

Yes. This page has a 40.6 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
