Out-of-Province Inspection
The inspection needed to register a vehicle from another province in Alberta.
Moving to Alberta, or bought a vehicle that was registered in another province? Alberta requires an out-of-province inspection before the vehicle can be registered here. We inspect it against the provincial standard and give you the inspection report to take to a registry agent. If anything doesn't pass, we explain what needs fixing and can do the repairs for you.
