Plate(s) / Drivers Licence
Cancellation Steps

Moved to another jurisdiction and want to cancel your Alberta licence plates and drivers licence?  The following steps are all that is required to do this.

1. The first thing you need to do is to calculate if there will be any refund available for canceling your licence plates or drivers licence.

   • Licence Plates - Calculate the number of full months remaining on your registration.  For each month remaining there is $5.00 (for passenger plates ONLY) of government credit.  The government will charge a fee of $10.00 + GST to issue the cheque.  In addition to this there is a $9.00 service charge payable to our office for processing the cancellation request.

     • Full Months Remaining x $5.00 = Remaining Government Credit

     • Remaining Government Credit - $10.60 = Projected Refund Cheque Amount

     • Projected Refund Cheque Amount - $9.54 (S/C) = Effective Refund Amount
        

   • Drivers Licence - Calculate the number of full years remaining on your drivers licence.  For each year remaining there is $11.00 of government credit.  The government will charge a fee of $10.00 + GST to issue the cheque.  In addition to this there is a $9.00 service charge payable to our office for processing the cancellation request.

     • Full Years Remaining x $11.00 = Remaining Government Credit

     • Remaining Government Credit - $10.60 = Projected Refund Cheque Amount

     • Projected Refund Cheque Amount - $9.54 (S/C) = Effective Refund Amount

2. If once you have determined that it is worth processing the cancellation(s) you will need to submit a written request to our office with a cheque for the service charge required  for each item you want us to cancel.  The request needs to include:

   • Date

   • Licence plate number(s) and/or drivers licence number(s) that you are requesting the cancellation(s) for.

   • Your new address - Place to have cheque mailed out to.

   • Signature(s) (Signatures from all individuals involved are required)

   • Include the original plate surrender certificate(s) if you received one from your new jurisdiction when you switched your plates over.  This will allow us to back date your cancellation to that date instead of the date we received your request.
