Local tips

Registry Express is at 1841 - 1632 14 Ave NW in Calgary. Hours vary, so call 403-282-3820 to confirm, and keep in mind that road tests are by appointment. Railway level crossings come up quickly here: map data shows two about 210 m and 220 m away and four more about 495 m to 510 m away. Slow down and never stop on the tracks. Fire Station 10 is only about 170 m from the registry, so if a siren sounds, pull over and stop. 16 Avenue NW, part of Highway 1, is about 150 m away and posted at 60 km/h. There are 46 sets of traffic lights within a kilometre (the nearest about 140 m away) and 31 stop signs within 1.2 km. Briar Hill School and Capitol Hill School, both about 710 m away, mean watching for students on weekdays. Our 28.4 km practice route uses 14 Avenue NW and 19 Street NW to join 16 Avenue NW, heads to Centre Street N and Edmonton Trail NE, crosses on McKnight Boulevard NE and John Laurie Boulevard NW, and returns by 4 Street NW. Plan lane choices early.

Common questions

Registry Express road test FAQ

What are the hours at Registry Express?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Registry Express at 403-282-3820 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Registry Express'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 Registry Express?

Yes. This page has a 28.4 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
