You must have insurance before hitting the road, and you cannot get registration without insurance. Step 1, Get insurance on vehicle, need the VIN number. Step 2, take signed bill of sale to registries and get new plate. Very simple process. Older vehicles (10 years or more) will require a recent safety inspection. You can also get an In Transit sticker from registration which allows you to have the vehicle on the road for a 24- 48 hour period but insurance is still needed for this.

If its not legal, why is it right on the Alberta Government website? Assuming of course you mean transfer a plate from a vehicle you already own.
