Out Of Province Vehicle Inspections

You will be required to obtain an Out Of Province request form prior to your appointment. The Out Of Province Request form can be obtained at any Alberta Registry Office.

It is imperative that your vehicle is brought to us inspection ready. What do we mean by this?

​

-All areas of the vehicle are accessible. Excess cargo or debris may result in the inability to properly perform the inspection and the inconvenience of having to make a new appointment.

-Children's car seats should be removed from the vehicle prior to inspection. All seat belts must be tested and in working order. Car seats often block access to a seat belt. In this situation, the car seat will be removed but not re-installed.

-Wheel lock keys should be placed on passenger seat or in the cup holder for quick access. Out Of Province Inspections require removal of your vehicles wheels. If the wheel lock key is not in the vehicle or the location of the wheel lock key is unknown, appointments may have to be re-booked or a forced removal of wheel locks performed. Should you choose forced removal it is important to note that the wheel locks will be destroyed in the process requiring replacement and additional charges will apply.

It is always best to plan ahead and not wait until last minute to have your Out Of Province Inspection performed. We all feel our vehicles are immaculate and will pass, but the Province of Alberta has strict criteria that must be met. If repairs are required you want to make sure you have given yourself time to deal with them.

The Out Of Province Inspection takes approximately 3 hours for full completion of the physical inspection and Government paperwork. We highly recommend planning to drop off your vehicle and going about your day. Early morning appointments are also recommended. Often if a repair is required, this allows for time to have it performed and prevent the need for additional visits.
