Let's get this out of the way: no one comes to these places for fun and the rates always feel exorbitant. Ok, that being said: this is one of the better ones. The decor is fascinating and that is important when your butt is glued to a chair for the duration. Immediately get a number from the red dispenser on the right. Ideally someone would tell you that when you arrive - but if not - understanding will dawn as numbers are called :P This place is BUSY with a myriad of services, and I did notice them make a visible effort to track 'who's on first'. More importantly, the people I dealt with were knowledgeable and efficient (and kind). Load your phone with a good game before you come, make sure you have all your paperwork, a treasure chest of gold, and a delicious coffee :P read more

Beddington Registry Services - Lots to look at whilst you wait. - Registration Services Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

They moved the guy said 2 years ago but all information on the internet and under Beddington Registry still shows their old address. Pretty poor service and why is the Province not fining them for not updating their records. read more

I must concur with the previous posts, the service is very dry and lacking any sort of professionalism. My first experience in Alberta was with them, and I thought they were government employees from Manitoba that hate their jobs and were just there to kill time until they could retire. I have since then been able to experience REAL, genuine customer service at a registry elsewhere. The only reason they came up in my life again is because we forgot to renew our registration while on holidays and my wife mistakenly used their services. We am bewildered as to why there is no training provided to the staff on the subject of customer service, because over the 10 years we have lived near their store we have sat at almost all the desks around the room and been treated very poorly from them all. I have to give them one star, because anybody can take my money and give me a sticker. read more

I will never go to any other registries office if I can help it because I've never waited to meet with an agent. How can you go wrong with just walking in the door and receiving service within 5 seconds? I'm sure they get very busy, but I've never seen it. The office also has a small town, old school feel because it's nothing fancy, all of the agents sit at old desks and are usually dressed very casually. The fact that they have a Ticketmaster outlet is perfect. I hate paying for fees when you purchase tickets online, so you save money by picking them up here in person. read more

I've taken my GDL test here 2 times. Once back in 2011, and another time in 2015. I had the same instructor both times (I think Ryan?) and he was incredibly rude, condescending, and patronizing. I took my GDL at other registries before and failed - but at least the other instructors would explain to me like an adult what I did wrong and what I needed to work on (I'm 30, so I really do not appreciate being talked to like a child). This instructor was successful at making me cry both times because of his incredibly patronizing and condescending tone and remarks. I've read some other positive reviews of him, and all I can think is maybe he has a better attitude with men taking the test. I absolutely do not recommend this registry for taking your GDL test. I had very positive experiences at both the Cochrane and Airdrie registries (despite failing there, also) and was able to come out of those experiences knowing what I needed to work on to be able to succeed in the future. Ryan's comments were only rude jabs, with zero constructive criticism. And for what it's worth, I did not have any major driving infractions that would be grounds for immediate failure. I failed the last time because I was "too hesitant" and couldn't drive fast enough on the unpaved side streets after a huge snowfall. I was not being reckless or dangerous. read more

I took my daughter in law to get her Licence she's 24 years old, has been driving for years with a learners, is an excellent driver, and yet they failed her, cost $95.00 and a fail. I went and sat in the pub waiting for her to return, told the waitress what she was doing, her comment is no one gets passed the first time at Beddington, her boy friend went 4 times then on the 5th try he went somewhere else and passed. She said it's a scam, they make you keep coming back to collect the $95 fee. the explanation that he gave was very lame, certainly there are lot of people on the road who are terrible drivers, how do they get their licences and my daughter in law who is cautious and very good, fails. It's a scam.Do NOT Go Here, it's a big SCAM read more

Strolling into Beddington Registry is a bit like walking into Jed Clampett's cottage with a few people hanging around, perhaps coming in from a hike in the park or from sitting on the front porch for awhile. The place is retro with old celings, walls, floors and furniture. There are few signs, so you wonder if you are in the right place. I thought I was at Jed's place for sure. The ticketmaster outlet is off to your left as you enter. It is an old sign attached by some string. Straight ahead is a set of retro old couches followed by a clear lane. On either side, old dark desks and chairs for customer interactions. The service is likely from a bad twilight zone episode. No one much talks to you, provides additional information or even says 'Hi" or "I will be right with you" or "Good luck on your road test today" or "Thanks for coming in today." The dress code for staff is beyond casual. You wonder if this is how people look when they eat their breakfast on a Sunday morning. To be fair, there are few, if any line-ups at this place. You are likely to get served rather promptly. It is easy to see and hear why now. I did get what I required but I had to ask lots of questions as the communication was Twilight Zoning often. They do not have pay machines at each desk, so you have to go to another desk to pay - saving costs I presume. As my transaction was being processed, I wondered if this place was legit. Another Twilight Zone moment. In the end, I wondered whether this place belonged in Nanton or Trochu or some small southern Alberta town. It doesn't fit with big city Calgary. So there. The truth is out there now. Enjoy your day. read more

The service is cold and lacking. I wanted to order two birth certificates for my son (a long form and a wallet sized) when they arrived they were both long form. One agent I spoke with said they didnt make a wallet sized for children. The next said they hadnt made wallet size in years and it was obviously my mistake in ordering the wrong one cause why should the agent have told me that when I told her I wanted a long form and a wallet one. The "manager" was very rude and refused to do anything to rectify the situation and basically blamed me for the mistake! read more

Terrible customer service. I was misinformed by the corporate registries agent on how to acquire some documents i needed. She told me I had to call a number in Edmonton. I went home and after a 10 min long distance phone call I was told I had been misinformed by the beddginton office and needed to go back there to request my documents. I called the beddginton office to try to clear things up and was told I would have to come back and pay a $31 fee to get the documents I needed. I asked them to waive the fees for my wasted time and expenses and the manager Harry refused. They made a mistake, took no accountability and then wanted to charge me and make me go back in! Ridiculous, I will never use this office again!!!! read more

Customer service is non-existent! I have used this registry on occasion, but this last visit put me over the top with disdain. It's not just the customer service - its the total lack of acknowledgement of the client! During transactions they interrupt each other, not always for work related advice, as if you are not even there. Nobody actually seems to know what they are doing as they have to ask each other something constantly! They get up during your transaction and disappear - you don't know if you are done, anything more to sign, or what! No "thank you for your business", "have a good day", or even a "we're done, good-bye!" I'll go to PLATES at Northhill Mall or AMA before I ever go back to this place!!! read more

I went here to register my corporation and every year since to enter my corporate return because they were close by. Half the time I try to do this, they do not have anyone qualified to do corporate registry and I had to come back at another day or time. I am tired of wasting my time with this place. read more

Terribly rude employees. My daughter didn't have the correct ID in order to register her car. The teller, without us even leaving the register, ignored us and called 'next'. Refused to even acknowledge further questions. read more

This place is weird. Very old desks and furniture. Anyone can see they do not want to spend even a penny to make it look decent. Their service is lacking professionalism. They are always on a hurry to take the money and see your back.. It is a family owned business. They definitely need training in customer service and dress code. The staff do not like to explain details or to be asked questions. Don't even think about a greeting or a smile. It is always empty , no wonder why. This registry does not fit with big place like Calgary. It seems like a stop on a long wild road. TERRIBLE......... read more

Absolutely the worst registry office I have ever been to. First iff I waited over half an hour to get seen. Then I went to go register my vehicle and they told me I couldn't register my vehicle because it was under my husbands name yet both of us are on the insurance. I showed drivers license to show the same address and everything and they still wouldn't let me pay for it. I called bullsh*t because any other registry office I never had a problem doing it. Plus to wait for over half an hour to be told that is unacceptable!!! They are not customer service driven and useless. Do not go there!!! They don't know what they are talking about!!! I won't be returning!! I wish I could say zero stars because the whole experience was horrible. read more
