Alberta driver’s licence and ID card services will be unavailable province-wide from June 28 at 6:30 PM to the start of business July 2, 2026, due to the Government of Alberta system update. If your licence or ID card expires during this period, please renew before the outage begins. Motor Vehicle Services will also be unavailable on June 30, 2026 from approximately 3:00 PM until 8:15 PM. This will affect in-person and online services.
Renewing early helps you avoid issues and gives you time to gather any additional documentation that may be required.
Starting July 2, 2026, Alberta driver’s licence and identification card renewals include new document requirements. The next time you renew, you must provide proof that you are legally entitled to be in or remain in Canada. Once this information has been verified, you generally will not need to provide it again unless your status changes.
Registrations Are Us can help you renew your Alberta driver’s licence in person at our Edmonton registry office and answer any questions about the new requirements.

If you cannot provide acceptable proof of legal entitlement, you may be eligible for a one-time 60-day grace period. You must visit a registry agent in person and pay the applicable fee to request it.
