Alberta Licence Plate Renewal

How much does registration cost?

The cost will depend on the term – for a passenger (non commercial class) vehicle for 12 months, it will be $93. If you are registering for less or more than the 12 month term, the cost will be prorated. To find out which month your personal or company licence plate will expire, refer to the Registration Month Expiry Chart.  Call us at (403) 235-7899 to find out the exact cost.

If there are any changes to be made to the account (i.e. address, phone, lease status etc.), the account holder must be present in the office to sign for the changes.

Renewing for Someone Else

If you want to renew someone else’s registration, we can do it as long as you have proof of insurance, a digital or paper copy of the registration, and your driver’s licence. If the registration has been expired for three months or longer, the owner of the vehicle will need to provide you with a Vehicle Authorization Form. Please note that you will not be able to make any changes to the account (address, etc.).

What if I have fines?

If there are any fines on your account which are overdue, you will need to pay off the fines by cash, debit or credit card (an additional fee applies when paying with a credit card) before we can renew your plate. The cost is the original fine cost, plus late fees, plus a $9 service fee per ticket for us to clear them for you. If you need to know the exact amount of your fines, please call us at (403) 235-7899 we would be happy to help.

Can I renew online?

You can renew online through the Government of Alberta’s online renewal website. You will be asked to designate a Registry Agent. Please choose ALTAFACTS Search & Registry.
