Local tips

Richmond Road Registry is in Calgary at 5767 Signal Hill Centre SW, with a set of traffic lights about 65 m away and 27 sets within a kilometre. Hours vary, so call 403-246-0130 to confirm them, and remember road tests are by appointment. Close by, Richmond Road SW and Westhills Way SW are posted at 50 km/h, but Sarcee Trail SW, about 435 m away, is posted at 100 km/h, so the speed difference is large. Map data counts 33 stop signs within 1.2 km and 53 marked crosswalks within 800 m; make full stops and look for pedestrians. Roundabouts about 660 m and 810 m away are a chance to practice yielding to traffic already circling and signalling as you leave. Battalion Park School is about 950 m away, so watch for students on weekdays. Our 38.6 km practice route starts on Richmond Road SW, takes Crowchild Trail SW and 17 Avenue SW, uses Bow Trail SW and Sarcee Trail SW, then returns through 50 Avenue SW and 37 Street SW. Several ramps and exits are involved, so practice checking mirrors and blind spots early and adjusting speed smoothly.

Common questions

Richmond Road Registry road test FAQ

What are the hours at Richmond Road Registry?

Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Richmond Road Registry at 403-246-0130 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.

How do I book a road test?

Book online through Richmond Road 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 Richmond Road Registry?

Yes. This page has a 38.6 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
