Local tips
Ridge Insurance and Registry's Magrath office is at 81 Harker Ave. Two schools, Magrath Elementary School and Magrath Junior and Senior High School, are both about 460 m away, so watch for students on weekdays, especially near the 30 marked crosswalks that map data shows within 800 m. 1 Street West carries Highway 62 about 160 m from the office and is posted at 50 km/h. A bridge on Centre Street lies about 700 m away, and the Magrath Community Health Centre is about 750 m away, so be ready to pull over for emergency vehicles. Map data shows no traffic lights within a kilometre. Hours vary, so call 403-758-3391 to confirm them before your visit; road tests are by appointment. Our 44.2 km practice route starts north on 1 Street West, turns onto Highway 5, then uses Range Road 214A and Township Road 54 before returning on Centre Street and 1 Avenue South. When you come back into town from the highway, practice bringing your speed down early and watching for pedestrians.
Common questions
Ridge Insurance and Registry road test FAQ
What are the hours at Ridge Insurance and Registry?
Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Ridge Insurance and Registry (Magrath) Ltd. at 403-758-3391 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Ridge Insurance and Registry (Magrath) Ltd.'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 Ridge Insurance and Registry?
Yes. This page has a 44.2 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
