Driver Training and Examiner Licensing
As of August 24, 2026, driver training schools, driving instructors and driver examiners must use the new Driver Training and Examiner Licensing portal for all new applications, renewals, upgrades and updates.
If you paid a new application or renewal fee at an Alberta registry prior to August 24, 2026, you can submit your application by email to [email protected].
New applicants or licence renewals
Passenger vehicle road tests (Class 5 and 6) are conducted by driver examiners employed or contracted by registry agents.
If you are a new applicant, contact a registry agent office to begin your application.
Driver examiner applications are only accepted during designated intake periods.
Once Examinations and Licensing identifies a training session, the Association of Alberta Registry Agents (AARA) and Alberta Motor Association (AMA) will be notified. These agencies will then inform their members that the driver examiner application is open.

Convert out-of-province credentials
If you are an experienced Canadian driver examiner and want to convert your valid, out-of-province driver examiner credentials to an Alberta driver examiner licence, you can submit a Labour Mobility Application for Driver Examiner Licence.
Note that non-Canadian driver examiner credentials are not reciprocated.
Note: The Labour Mobility Act application is a multi-phase process. Phase 1 involves reciprocating the out-of-province credentials. Phase 2 involves meeting Alberta-specific requirements, including obtaining an Alberta driver’s licence and successfully completing examiner training and testing.
After you apply
Examinations and Licensing will provide a written acknowledgement we received your application within 10 business days. We will review the application, verify your supporting documents, and reach a decision within 20 days. Incomplete application packages will not be reviewed and returned to you.
If your application is refused and your situation meets the requirements, you can apply for a Registrar’s reconsideration. You must review the information and complete an online application within 30 days.
After receiving the conversion of out-of-province driver examiner licence credentials approval letter, you are not authorized to conduct driver examination. You will need to complete Phase 2 of the application as stated in the letter sent to you by Examinations and Licensing.
A link will be sent in a separate email to complete Phase 2 of the application.
Once Phase 2 of the application process has been completed, Examinations and Licensing will send you an email with your driver examiner licence and you will then be able to conduct driver examination with the Registry Agent’s office you are affiliated with.
