Local tips

Vermilion Registries, at 4919 50 Avenue, is about 135 metres from Vermilion Fire, so stay ready to pull over for fire trucks heading out on a call. The nearest traffic light is about 80 metres away, one of five within a kilometre, and there are nine stop signs in the surrounding area, so expect a lot of stopping and starting. Buffalo Trail, part of Highway 41, is about 445 metres away with an 80 km/h limit, while 52 Street, also Highway 41, is about 325 metres away. Map data shows bridges on Railway Avenue, Pare Drive and Buffalo Trail, about 310, 685 and 875 metres away, and railway level crossings starting about 1.1 km out. Slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. Hours vary, so call 780-853-2871 to confirm, and road tests are by appointment. Our 41.7 km practice route uses 50 Street, 50 Avenue and 52 Street, takes the Highway 16 West ramp, then follows Range Road 70, Buffalo Trail and Railway Avenue before taking exit 577 back toward town and College Drive. Practice matching speed as you join Highway 16.

Common questions

Vermilion Registries road test FAQ

What are the hours at Vermilion Registries?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Vermilion Registries at 780-853-2871 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Vermilion 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 Vermilion Registries?

Yes. This page has a 41.7 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
