Medical reports are required in Classes 1, 2, and 4:
- On initial application and on renewal;
- Every five years to age 45;
- Every two years from age 45 to age 65; and
- Every year from age 65.
Medical reports are required in Classes 3, 5, 6, and 7 on initial application or if applicant is 75; and on renewal when a person reaches age 75. Persons 75 to 77 years of age are normally issued licenses which will expire on their 80th birthday. Persons 78 years of age or over are licensed for periods of two years.
The law requires that you report any medical condition, change in health, or physical disability that may affect your driving. Such reports must be made to Alberta Registries through a Registry Agent who will in turn inform Driver Records (Medical Review Board). This is the driver’s responsibility and legal obligation, not that of his/her doctor.
