Additional Project Background:
The Registries Evolution branch within Service Alberta and Red Tape reduction (SARTR) in partnership with Digital Design and Delivery division of Technology and Innovation (TI) are leading the modernization efforts for the Motor Vehicle Registry and Land Titles Registry.

Land Titles Registry
The Land Titles Act provides the legislative framework for the department to register land related documents that both create and terminate legal rights in property. The land registration system used in Alberta is based on the Torrens System of land registration and operates under the legislative authority of the Land Titles Act.

Under this system, the Government of Alberta has custody of all original titles, documents and plans and has the legal responsibility for the validity and security of all registered land title information.

Motor Vehicles Registry
The Registrar of Motor Vehicles (MV) is a shared responsibility between SARTR and Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC). MV includes identity management, vehicle registration, driver licensing, with services provided to Albertans through the Registry Agent Network (RAN). Both Ministries rely on the Motor Vehicle System (MOVES) to support business delivery that includes roadside Law Enforcement, administration of Alberta’s impaired driving framework, and medical fitness for drivers.

Motor vehicle services (Motor Vehicles Registry) enables registry agents to provide Albertans with the ability to register a motor vehicle, obtain a driver's license or identification card, obtain documents for driving history through MOVES, and enables the movement of people and goods that drive economic growth.

Business and Vital Event Registries
The interaction of the Land Titles Registry and Motor Vehicle Registry with the Vital Statistics Registry, Personal Property Registry and Corporate Registry will require modernization of these three (3) registries to enable interfacing.
• The Vital Statistics Registry manages registrations of births, deaths, marriages and legal name changes, including indigenous characters in names or gender markers.
• The Personal Property Registry manages registration of interests against personal property, including vehicles.
• The Corporate Registry manages the identity and status of all businesses and non-profit organizations (societies, charities, etc.) operating in Alberta.
