Reporting placard abuse

Using a placard

If you’re aware of someone using a parking placard that hasn’t been issued to them, report the incident to Alberta Registries, Motor Vehicles at sa.motorvehicles@gov.ab.ca and provide the following information:

• details of the incident, including time and place
• the licence plate number
• make/model of the vehicle
• placard number
• description of the individual using the placard

Using an accessible parking space

If you’re aware of someone parking in a designated stall and there isn’t a valid parking placard displayed or a special disabled licence plate on the rear of the vehicle, contact the municipal parking authority.
