Local tips

Thorsby Registries is at 4902A Hankin St, and the nearest hazard is a railway level crossing only about 245 m away. Slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. Thorsby Junior/Senior High School is about 360 m from the office and Thorsby Elementary School about 460 m away, so watch for students on weekdays and keep your speed down near them. 52 Street, carrying Highway 778 at 50 km/h, is about 185 m away, while Range Road 12, part of the same highway about 590 m away, is posted at 100 km/h. A bridge on 52 Street lies about 840 m off. Map data shows no traffic lights within a kilometre. Registry hours vary, so call 780-789-2424 to confirm them, and book ahead, since road tests are by appointment. Our 35.3 km practice route starts south on Hankin Street, uses 49 Avenue and 52 Street, then Township Road 492, Range Road 275 and Highway 39 before looping back through town on 50 Avenue and 49 Street. Practice adjusting your speed as you move between highway and town streets.

Common questions

Thorsby Registries road test FAQ

What are the hours at Thorsby Registries?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Thorsby Registries at 780-789-2424 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Thorsby 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 Thorsby Registries?

Yes. This page has a 35.3 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
