Local tips

At Redwater Registry, 4926 49 St, the closest railway level crossing is only about 175 m away, and map data shows more about 355 m and 650 m out. Slow down as you approach each crossing, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. Redwater School is about 220 m from the registry, so watch for students crossing on weekdays, especially around the start and end of the school day. Fire Station 7 is about 280 m away; if you hear a siren, signal, pull to the right and stop. 48 Avenue, part of Highway 38 with a 50 km/h limit, is about 275 m away. Road tests are by appointment, and as hours vary, call 780-942-3535 to confirm. Our 31.1 km practice route heads south on 49 Street, follows 48 Avenue and 44 Street on Highway 38 to Township Road 572 and Range Road 212, and later returns along Highway 38 and 48 Avenue on Highway 829. Practice looking both ways for trains at every crossing along the way, even when you expect none.

Common questions

Redwater Registry road test FAQ

What are the hours at Redwater Registry?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Redwater Registry at 780-942-3535 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Redwater 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 Redwater Registry?

Yes. This page has a 31.1 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
