      • a Class 3 motorcycle
      • a Class 3 off-highway vehicle
      • a Class 1 or Class 3 commercial trailer

    • Your current vehicle registration certificate, which contains your licence plate number and your registration number.
    • Your valid driver's licence, which contains your driver's licence number and your MVID.
    • Your valid insurance pink card as proof of insurance coverage. Your insurance must provide public liability and property damage coverage under an owner's automobile insurance policy as provided for in the Alberta Insurance Act.
    • Your credit or debit card ready to make a payment. MyAlberta eServices accepts Visa Credit and Debit, MasterCard, American Express, or Interac Online.
  3. As part of the process you'll be asked to choose your preferred registry. We encourage you to choose the local registry in your community.
  4. You will receive a confirmation email from mv-noreply@gov.ab.ca. Please keep this as your proof of purchase.
  5. Your new vehicle registration certificate will be available as a PDF document from MyAlberta eServices - under My Account, My Digital Downloads.

    • You will be able to access your vehicle registration certificate digital download for 365 days from the date of purchase.
    • The initial digital download is only available between 6:00 AM and 10:00 PM Mountain Time. If you are renewing your vehicle registration outside of these hours, your initial digital download will be available the next day at 6:00 AM.
    • Your vehicle registration certificate is proof that the vehicle is currently registered. Licence plate expiry stickers are no longer required as of January 1, 2021.
