Be aware
We are aware of fraudulent text messages that appear to come from a government organization that reference updates to driver's licences and health care cards.
These messages are scams.
If you receive one:
✅ Don't click any links
✅ Don't share personal or financial information
✅ Delete the message
The Government of Alberta will never send unsolicited text messages asking for personal or financial information. If you're unsure whether a message is legitimate, visit alberta.ca directly instead of clicking a link in a text message.
