Overview

A Driver’s Licence History Report (DLHR) is an automated confirmation letter that contains a history of licences issued to you in Alberta from May 20, 2003, to the date and time the report is printed. It includes dates of licence renewals, different licence classes you have held in this time, and your Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) status and exit date.

The release of information from a Driver’s Licence History Report is regulated by the Access to Motor Vehicle Information Regulation (AMVIR).

You can only get a DLHR for your own driver’s licence. You cannot order a DHLR for someone else.
