Firstly, you will need to bring in the serial number of the vehicle you want to register to obtain an Out of Province inspection request. You must then have a government approved licensed mechanic perform an out of Province Inspection. We can provide you with a list of licensed mechanics in our area. Finally, bring in your original inspection certificate, valid proof of insurance, proof of ownership (Bill of Sale or previous registration certificate) and 1 piece of acceptable ID, and we will be able to register your vehicle.
If it has been less than 3 years since you last renewed, all you need to do is renew your license, without penalty. If it has been more than 3 years, you will have to take the knowledge and road test again.
