A massive computer system failure has knocked out access to many registry services all across Alberta since Thursday, the province is reporting.

The services were disrupted on Thursday morning and Service Alberta has had technicians working around the clock to restore essential services.

Services affected include:

driver's licence renewals

corporate registry access

SPIN II

land titles

personal property registry access

online fine payment

vital statistics services.

Vehicle registration services are still available.

Service Alberta apologizes for the inconvenience to Albertans and asks for their patience as the problem is resolved. Restoration of registry services is the department's highest priority.

There is no information on when the service will be restored, but Service Alberta will provide an update when all systems are back online.
