Alberta Registry Closure Starting July 12

[dannie]

Just an FYI to the great users of Beyond....

Due to the explosion at Shaw, registry services across the province have been shut down. The only services available at offices are corporate registries, APPRES and vital statistics. The government of Alberta does not anticipate services to be back up and running before the weekend.

Therefore, the majority of registry offices in the Calgary area are closing or leaving a skeleton crew at the office to handle inquiries.

Update: There is none. GOA has no ETA and does not expect registry services to be up before Monday afternoon at the earliest.

Another Update: Still no news from Alberta government. Sytems are still down except Corporate, Vital stats and personal property. The majority of offices are shut down until further notice.

Fug Fug fug, I raced down to Reg Friday as they close at 6pm. Arrive at 5:30 only to find out, they closed at 5pm due to Province Wide Outage. Go on Saturday and same shit. This is in Edmonton by the way.

It's a province wide issue... Everyone's shit out of luck for a while no matter where you live in Alberta

[dannie]

Stil no news from Service Alberta. Rumor around registries is that the systems *may* resume Tuesday.

Keep in mind, all police agencies are aware of the outage and are being asked to use discretion when dealing with clients who are affected by this. The minister of service Alberta has agreed to a couple exemptions during the outage and they can be found here -> http://alberta.ca/acn/201207/3267482...A2FFA0943.html

It's been confirmed that registry services will continue to be inoperable Monday. Ive been told today that media outlets have been stating all services are back to normal, please remember this is for shaw services (ie: Internet, cable etc), NOT for Alberta Registries. The registries are able to process vital statistics, corporate and appres, but no other services may be done.

Thanks for the updates dannie. This is such a frustrating process. I've been waiting since the fire to register my vehicle. This sucks...

Please keep the updates coming as soon as you get them! Greatly appreciated

Not a problem. Beyond has been helpful to me in the past, I figure it's only right to do the same

That being said... Here is the latest information bulletin. It is stating that there is an option to obtain temporary intransit permits from registries if you've bought a new vehicle. However, registries were required to surrender all paper intransit to the government a few years ago, so none of us have them in office. I am assuming they are sending out a batch to all offices in the morning. So don't be surprised if this service is not available immediately.

Annnnnnnddd as I typed my latest update, registries confirmed how agents are to issue intransit permits for vehicles. However, it is only for newly purchased vehicles. Do not go to a registry to obtain a permit for an expired vehicle, they will not be issued.

I've been hearing today that Tuesday as a fairly sure date that all services would be back to normal with the registries and citizens will then be able to register their vehicles...

How accurate is this information?

To be honest.... iBM was just allowed into the site on Saturday. So, my guess would be late Tues-Wed at the earliest. All we get told from IT is that no one knows and not to expect anything.

They were certain we'd be up by Monday... And clearly that wasn't the case.
