Concerns

The function performed by the Commissioner in relation to AMVIR is limited. The Commissioner is restricted to reviewing decisions to grant or deny access to personal driving and motor vehicle information by the Registrar. The Commissioner does not have a general power to investigate complaints related to access under AMVIR.

The Registrar is responsible for ensuring that persons or organizations given access to this information abide by the specific conditions contained in the contract with the Registrar. Complaints about the conduct of persons or organizations granted access should be made to the Registrar of Motor Vehicle Services.

In addition, an individual may have concerns about the subsequent collection, use, and disclosure of personal information by persons or organizations who receive personal driving and motor vehicle information from the Registrar. These concerns may be subject to the Personal Information Protection Act of Alberta (PIPA) or other privacy legislation. You may want to contact the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner for advice about your specific concern.
