<\/p>\nIf you’ve just moved to Edmonton, you already know that your to-do list is pretty big! There’s settling into your new home, starting a new job, enrolling your children in school, setting up utilities, and, let’s not forget, registering your out-of-province vehicle.<\/p>\n
The vehicle registration process isn\u2019t as straightforward as going to\u00a0Service Alberta<\/i>\u00a0and switching over your plates. You’ll need to book your car or truck in for an out of province inspection in Edmonton.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s take a look at what an out of province inspection entails and the step-by-step process on how to complete this important task!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Alberta is one of several Canadian provinces that require all out-of-province vehicles to pass an inspection before issuing local plates and registration tags. The inspection helps ensure your vehicle is roadworthy and that it meets Alberta’s road safety standards.<\/p>\n
If you’ve just moved to the province, you’ll have 90 days before you legally have to move over the vehicle registration. To do so, you’ll need to find a mechanic with a license issued by the Vehicle Inspection Program.<\/p>\n
On average, a thorough inspection by a licensed repair shop takes two hours. Your mechanic is responsible for submitting the signed Record of Inspection to the Alberta Registry \u2014 even if your car or truck has failed.<\/p>\n
If your vehicle has failed inspection and you need to make necessary repairs, you’ll have ten days to complete those repairs before the inspection expires.<\/p>\n
Does everyone in Edmonton need to get out of province inspection? Not necessarily! There are a few exceptions to the inspection rule in Edmonton and elsewhere in Alberta. Let\u2019s discuss:<\/p>\n
The vehicle will also need two stamps on\u00a0Transport Canada Form 1<\/i>. One stamp must come from the US\/Canada border and one from the Registrar of Imported Vehicles Inspection Center. Note that RIV compliance inspections are through appointment only. Find your nearest RIV Inspection location\u00a0here<\/a>!<\/p>\n It’s worth noting that if you are trying to register an out-of-province vehicle in Edmonton that falls into one of the following categories – it does not qualify for an exemption:<\/p>\n If you want to receive an exemption for any of the above reasons, you will still need to present the vehicle at an Alberta Registry office beforehand. The registry agent will be able to help you through the exemption process.<\/p>\n If you are ready to bring your out-of-province vehicle in for inspection in Edmonton, here is the step-by-step process you’ll need to follow.<\/p>\n Note that If you miss the 10-day window, you’ll have to inspect your car or truck again to restart the process!<\/p>\n If you miss this deadline for any reason, you’ll have to start this process all over again – so be sure to make the necessary arrangements!<\/p>\n Need help getting your out-of-province vehicle ready for our Edmonton roads?
