Local tips
Yellowhead Registries in Edson is at 4813 4 Ave, and 4 Avenue is itself part of Highway 16, posted at 50 km/h and about 60 m from the office. 2 Avenue, which also carries Highway 16, is about 205 m away. The most striking figure in the map data is the crosswalk count: 113 marked crosswalks within 800 m, so scan both sidewalks constantly and be ready to stop. The Edson Fire Department is about 235 m away, so watch for emergency vehicles and pull over when they come through. There are only two sets of traffic lights nearby, about 290 and 350 m away. Three railway level crossings lie about 1 km off. Slow down, look both ways and never stop on the tracks. Hours vary, so call 780-723-6666 to confirm; road tests are by appointment. Our 36.8 km practice route leaves southwest on 4 Avenue and Highway 16, uses Range Road 180, Township Road 534 and Highway 748, then returns via 48 Street, 6 Avenue and 2 Avenue, where you take an exit on the left. Check your mirror and signal early for that left exit.
Common questions
Yellowhead Registries road test FAQ
What are the hours at Yellowhead Registries?
Alberta doesn't publish hours for each registry, and they vary. Call Yellowhead Registries at 780-723-6666 to confirm before you go. Road tests are by appointment.
How do I book a road test?
Book online through Yellowhead Registries'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 Yellowhead Registries?
Yes. This page has a 36.8 km Class 5 practice test route that starts and ends at the centre, with a map and turn-by-turn directions.
