How do I transfer my driver's license over?

Im moving to alberta from ontario, how do you transfer you drivers license to a different province?

  • is this just a simple transfer or is there more to it? and what about health cards ect?

  • Answer:

    You go into an vehicle license office, and tell them you have moved, and want to transfer your licence. You fill out some paperwork, get your picture taken, and pay money (of course!), and, that's about it. They will want to see proof of where you are now living, so a lease, or utility bill in your name at that address, or something like that is required. Same for the health card, although they are usually fussier about the proof needed, in my experience (which admittedly isn't in Alberta, but, several other provinces). It takes about 3 months for the Alberta health coverage to take effect, but, you are covered under OHIP until then. But, do not delay. For driver's licences, you actually don't have much time, legally.

All residents of Alberta must register for the Alberta Health-care Insurance Plan to be eligible for services. Once your application has been processed you will be provided with a card and personal Alberta Health-care number. http://www.health.alberta.ca/ Driver’s Licenses: If you have a valid driver’s license from another part of Canada, you can exchange it for an equivalent Alberta license without having to write a test or pass a driving exam. However, you will have to show that you have no medical or vision problems that could stop you from driving safely. When you apply for your Alberta license you have to surrender your Ontario license and vice versa.

You apply for an Ontario licence when you get there. Same for the health card. Your old licence and health card are good for a short time in the new province.
