Before i-Tow picks up your vehicle in Calgary, it helps to have the right documents ready. Here's what Alberta requires.

1. Vehicle Registration (Most Important)

In Alberta, the vehicle registration serves as proof of ownership. You'll need to sign the back of the registration to transfer ownership. Keep a copy for your records.

2. Government-Issued Photo ID

A valid Alberta driver's licence or government ID is required to verify your identity matches the registration.

3. Release of Liability

After the sale, notify Alberta Transportation to release yourself from liability. This can be done online at alberta.ca. i-Tow can guide you through this step.

What If I Don't Have the Registration?

Contact us — we deal with these situations regularly. In some cases, a statutory declaration or a replacement registration from Alberta Transportation may be required. We'll walk you through it at no extra charge.

Does My Car Need a Safety Certificate?

No. When selling to i-Tow for cash or scrap removal in Calgary, a safety certificate is not required. We buy vehicles as-is.
