WHAT IS an Alberta driver’s abstract?
An Alberta driver’s abstract gives information about the current status of an operator’s drivers licence, any conviction information, demerit points and suspensions. The driving record does not include an operator’s driving experience or the date the individual was first licenced.
The Driver Abstract can be a 3-, 5- or 10-year printed report.
