Alberta Driver's AbstractThere are 2 types of abstracts that can be requested for 3, 5 or 10 year periods:
A Standard Driver Abstract provides information from an individual’s driving record, including:
A Commercial Driver Abstract allows for employers to assess safety risks associated with a driver prior to hiring them. It provides most of the same information as the Standard Driver Abstract plus information about Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) inspections.
However, the Commercial Driver Abstract does not include information about the driver’s appearance. Driver’s Licence History Report (Online order NOT available)
A Driver’s Licence History Report (DLHR) is an automated confirmation letter that contains a history of licences issued to you in Alberta from May 20, 2003, to the date and time the report is printed. It includes dates of licence renewals, different licence classes you have held in this time, and your Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) status and exit date. You can only get a DLHR for your own driver’s licence. You cannot order a DHLR for someone else. For more information, please refer to this link. Confirmation letter (Online order NOT available)
If you are looking for any other information that is not stated on your regular/commercial driver abstract, you can order a confirmation letter. A confirmation letter must be applied in-person or by mail. (NO Fax / email request) Please refer to this guide if you are applying from out of province. The processing time is approximately 2-3 weeks after we receive your application. ( Feb 2024: The processing time has been increased to 8-10 weeks due to a backlog at the government processing center) How to order

Driver abstracts can be issued for a 3, 5 or 10 year period. You must present acceptable identification and complete a Request for Personal Driving and Motor Vehicle Information form (PDF) and specify the period you are interested in. Requesting a Copy of a Minor's Abstract in person A parent/legal guardian may apply on behalf of a minor (person under 18 years of age), who is not self-supporting or married. The parent/guardian must supply acceptable identification, and complete a Driver Abstract Statement of Intent form (PDF). Requesting a Copy of Another Person's Abstract on Their Behalf An individual who is personally known to the driver, who has written consent may apply in person for an abstract on the drivers behalf. The individual must present acceptable identification, complete a Driver Abstract Statement of Intent form (PDF) and a Driver Abstract Consent form (PDF) completed and signed by the driver whose information they are requesting. The consent and statement of intent indicate that the individual is requesting it only to transfer it to the driver and will not be compensated in any manner for receiving or transferring the driver’s abstract to the driver. Applying from Out of Province/Country (Mail / Courier) Refer to this document if you can arrange to have someone that can pick up the abstract in our office. Refer to this document for other situations. Other Types of Abstract Requests There are other situations where your information can be released to others, such as employers and lawyers. There are also specific procedures for requesting your information when you are outside the province.
