LETHBRIDGE, AB – If you were planning on getting your driver’s license any time soon, you’re out of luck.

Effective immediately, Alberta Transportation is suspending road tests during the public health emergency surrounding COVID-19. However, the agency says they will be developing procedures to conduct road tests in a way that limits the spread of the virus.

“Road tests will resume when it is safe to do so.”

If you had your scheduled driver’s license test cancelled as a result of the suspension of the service, you will be able to rebook online once the public health emergency ends at no additional cost.

You can request a refund by emailing driverexaminations@gov.ab.ca. Make sure to include your full name, date of birth, motor vehicle identification (MVID), and your road test permit number if you have it.
