Driver's Abstract

driver's abstract is a history of your personal driving record which is maintained by Alberta Registries, and is available for a 3, 5, or 10 year period.

How to Obtain a Driver's Abstract

The release of information from a driver abstract is regulated by the Access to Motor Vehicle Information Regulation (AMVIR). This means that we can only provide your driver abstract to you, to an individual to whom you have provided consent or to an organization which has an AMVIR agreement and has received consent from you to request the information.

Do you have an Alberta.ca account?

This option is for Alberta residents with Alberta.ca accounts only. If you have a driver's licence from another jurisdiction you will not have access to this service.
