Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan Registration Services

Albertans can now register for the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan or update their information at 13 member registry agencies across the province. The service is provided at no cost.

Registry agents will process applications. Alberta Health and Wellness will mail the health card directly to the applicants. To maintain confidentiality and security of applicants' personal data, agents do not have access to any individual's health information.

Note: The two current Alberta Health and Wellness offices in downtown Calgary and Edmonton closed on March 31, 2009.

Participating member registries offer the following services:

• Registration and enrollment of new accounts
• Account updates and cancellations:
• Personal information changes (i.e. name, address)
• Additions, deletions, and reinstatements of dependent(s) (e.g. spouse, newborns, etc.)
• Cancellation and reinstatement of registrations (e.g. due to death, leaving Alberta, etc.)
• Non-group Blue Cross

Please make sure to print off and complete your form before coming in. You can obtain forms directly from Alberta Health and Wellness.
