Local tips

Pincher License & Registry is in the Ranchlands Co-Op Mall at 1300 Hewetson Ave, and the Pincher Creek Health Centre is only about 250 m away. Be ready to pull over for ambulances, and do the same near Pincher Creek Emergency Services, about 795 m off. A roundabout sits about 265 m from the mall with another about 825 m away. Slow down, yield to traffic already in the roundabout and signal as you leave. Highway 507 is about 195 m away, and the Cowboy Trail, which carries Highway 6, is about 290 m away and posted at 50 km/h. Map data shows no traffic lights within a kilometre. Hours vary, so phone 403-627-2642 to confirm them; road tests are by appointment. Our 60.3 km practice route uses Veteran's Street and Tumbleweed Avenue to reach Highway 507 and a roundabout, then Main Street, Range Road 293 and Township Road 64 before joining the Crowsnest Highway and returning through Frederick Street. The route passes through roundabouts more than once, so use each pass to practice your exit signal.

Common questions

Pincher License & Registry road test FAQ

What are the hours at Pincher License & Registry?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Pincher License & Registry at 403-627-2642 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Pincher License & Registry's road test booking page (the "Official booking" button on this page, also listed on alberta.ca), or in person at the registry. You'll need your 9-digit MVID number, printed near the barcode on your licence, and any outstanding Government of Alberta fines must be paid first. Registry agents set their own road test fees, up to the maximum in the province's Registry Agent Product Catalogue, so confirm the fee when you book.

What do I need for the road test?

A vehicle that meets all legal and safety requirements, plus the documents listed on the registry's road test information sheet and in your confirmation letter. The information sheet also covers eligibility, fees, and the registry's cancellation and no-show policies.

How long do I need my learner's licence first, and how is the test marked?

You must have held a Class 7 learner's licence for at least one year and be at least 16 (with a parent's or guardian's written consent if you're under 18). You fail the Class 5 road test with more than 75 points, or automatically if you endanger someone, drive unsafely or break traffic laws. After you pass the road test and a vision test, you get a probationary Class 5-GDL licence, which you hold for at least two years.

Is a practice route available for Pincher License & Registry?

Yes. This page has a 60.3 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
