i say leave it on because you are still considered a BC car & are subject to BC laws (BC plates = BC laws)
i would think you would have to have the "N" on as well
im not entirely sure |

| You could probly take it off because those are BC road laws, not alberta road laws |

If you are just visiting you have to leave it on to ensure it does not get used on the back of another vehicle even though there is no sticker on the front plate. If you move here you have 90 days to register it & obtain Alberta plates. This also includes having an out of province inspection done & passed. If a person is a student from another province & taking schooling in Alberta as long as you return to your home province before the 90 days are up you can continue to drive under the other province's plates. If the province the person comes from has a graduated licencing program you must follow the same rules from that province in Alberta. There is what Registries calls a "Reciprocity Agreement" between all provinces to acknowledge all other provinces laws.
Just a couple of little nice to know information:
1) If you change your mailing address you have 14 days to notify Registries of the change for your plates & driver's licence. Some people know this & some don't.
2) If you become suspended in Alberta but move out of province & obtain a licence from your new province (an offence by the way) you cannot return to Alberta & drive under your new licence. Your proviledges to drive in Alberta have been removed until you meet w/ whatever conditions are required.
3) As Alberta does not issue a front plate you are allowed to put a decorative plate on the front as long as it has never been issued by a province or state for actual registration. There are provisions for antiques to acquire & use an original plate of the era but certain criteria must be met. When I was driving my 1973 Duster if I had put on an Alberta 1973 plate I would be breaking the law.

| I think that those BC drivers should leave their plates on so us Albertians can see get out of the way when they come fly up behind you, :D j/k |
