Two years after the date of your conviction, the demerit points will be removed from your driving record/abstract. When a demerit point suspension ends, your driver’s licence will be reinstated with 7 demerit points which will remain on your driving record for 2 years from the date of reinstatement. If you receive a third or subsequent demerit point suspension within 2 years, your driver’s licence will be suspended for 6 months. If you receive a second demerit driving suspension within a year, your driver’s licence will be suspended for 3 months. If you receive a total of 15 or more demerit points within a 2-year period, your driver's licence is automatically suspended for one month. If you receive a cautionary notice, you can visit any Alberta registry agent to obtain a driver abstract which provides a summary of your driving record, including any traffic violations/convictions and the associated demerit points.

If you receive a total of 8 or more but less than 15 demerit points, you will receive a cautionary notice by mail with your demerit point total.
