Overview
You can receive an administrative suspension if you:
- are suspended in another Canadian jurisdiction
- fail to comply with special licensing conditions for example, conditions imposed through Service Alberta’s Special Investigations Unit
- are under the age of 18 and your parent/guardian withdraws consent for driver’s licensing
Your driver’s licence will be reinstated when you have met the specified reinstatement conditions. Check your Notice of Suspension for your reinstatement conditions.
Once you receive your Notice of Reinstatement, contact any Alberta registry agent to complete reinstatement conditions and obtain a new or replacement driver’s licence.
