Right, and for temporary registration, you get an In Transit Permit
In-transit permit (temporary plate)
Alberta does not have a temporary licence plate. We can issue you a special permit called an in-transit permit.
An in-transit permit allows a person to move a vehicle or trailer that doesn’t have a valid vehicle registration and licence plate.
The in-transit permit can be used in the following situations:
moving a vehicle between 2 points in Canada
maximum 3 days within Alberta, maximum 7 days out of province
towing
maximum 3 days within Alberta, maximum 7 days out of province
for car dealership demonstration/test drive purposes
maximum 7 days
repairs/servicing
maximum 7 days
salvage vehicles
maximum 24 hours
When you’re moving the vehicle from one province to another, the starting point or ending point must be in Alberta.
