Out of Province and Country Vehicle

Since January 1, 1997 all vehicles that were last registered outside of Alberta must be inspected by an authorized mechanic before being registered within our province.

First bring us your Bill of Sale. We’ll do a search on the vehicle to find out its previous status. Depending on that status you will be required to either have a Safety Inspection or a Written-Off Vehicle Inspection done. We can provide you with a Request for Inspection form. After the inspection is completed you must return the form to us within 14 days. Then the vehicle can be registered and if applicable the record from the previous province will be closed out.

To register you must bring:

• Proof of ownership document, such as a lease, bill of sale, probated will or letters of administration.
• Proof of valid insurance for the vehicle that includes the name(s) of the person(s) requesting the registration.
• Acceptable identification.
• An out-of-province, salvage or commercial inspection (if applicable)
