Alberta to Introduce Citizenship Markers on Driver’s Licences and ID Cards

Alberta is set to become the first province in Canada to include proof of Canadian citizenship on driver’s licences and other provincial identification. Premier Danielle Smith announced that the change aims to streamline access to services and strengthen election security.

The new feature will display a simple “CAN” marker on the ID of Canadian citizens, while permanent residents and other non-citizens will see no additional notation. Smith said the update will make it easier for Albertans to access programs such as student aid, health benefits, and disability supports without repeatedly providing separate proof of citizenship.

In addition, Alberta Health Care numbers will be added to driver’s licences to address discrepancies—officials say there are currently over 500,000 more health-care numbers than residents in the province. The government plans to introduce legislation this fall, with the changes expected to take effect in late 2026.
