If a licence is lost, stolen, or damaged, drivers must visit a registry agent to obtain a replacement, providing proper identification. Renewals are required every five years, with reminders sent in advance. Any changes to personal information, such as an address or name, must also be updated promptly with the registry office. Understanding these procedures ensures drivers remain legally licensed and that their records are accurate, supporting road safety and compliance with Alberta’s licensing regulations.
