In-Transit Permits
An In-Transit Permit is issued to authorize the movement of an unregistered vehicle or trailer between two points in Canada (the In-Transit Permit is only valid within Canadian borders). Either the starting point or ending point must be in Alberta.
When an unregistered vehicle or trailer is carrying a load, a Load Licensing Permit is required in addition to the In-Transit Permit. The client must contact Alberta Transportation for more information.
In-Transit Permits are only issued in the following situations:
Unregistered vehicles moving from point A to B
(maximum of 7 days).Towing
(maximum of 7 days).For demonstration/test drive purposes
(maximum of 7 days).Repairs/servicing
(maximum of 7 days).Salvage vehicles
(maximum of 24 hours).
You can purchase an In-Transit Permit online if:
You have an unregistered vehicle or trailer that you want to move.
Your point of origin or point of destination is in Alberta.
You have valid insurance for the vehicle (insurance is not required for trailers).

A copy of the In-Transit Permit must be carried in the vehicle at all times during transportation.
