Out of Country/Province
Out of Province vehicles require an inspection. Bring the ownership documents to the New Urban Registry to receive the request form from the Motor Vehicle system. Once the vehicle has successfully passed this inspection it is eligible for Alberta registration. If the vehicle is being imported from another country, documentation from Canada Customs is required to prove that the car is eligible for registration. Customs will provide you with the necessary forms when the vehicle first enters the country. For Canadian residents who wish to import a vehicle from the USA or other countries, please visit the Registrar of Imported Vehicles.
Registration Renewals
Sign up for a renewal reminder through email as the government has discontinued mailing our reminders. Please bring the following:
  1. Driver’s licence

Insurance documents can be accepted electronically or a faxed version can be sent to New Urban Registry at 403-262-8695.
Plate Exchange
You can have a plate exchange done if your old plate is worn out. The owner of the vehicle must be present in the office or a letter of authorization will be required. Please bring the following:

Change of Address for Vehicle Registrations
Albertans are required by law to update addresses on both their driver’s licence and vehicle registration within 14 days of moving. New Urban Registry will reprint the vehicle registration after the change on the driver’s licence has been made. Not updating your driver’s licence at the same time as registration could result in a fine if discovered by law enforcement.
