Alberta’s government is launching the Alberta Wallet, giving Albertans the option to carry their Government of Alberta-issued documents on their phones.

Leading the way in Canada, the Mobile Health Card will be the first document available for Albertans to add to the Alberta Wallet. This is part of the province’s health card modernization initiative and commitment to delivering better, faster and smarter services.

With security and privacy at the core, the Alberta Wallet and Mobile Health Card are protected by strong encryptions, ensuring that Albertans’ personal information stays private and accessible only to them. Albertans will also be in control of their personal information as nothing is shared with third parties without their consent.

The Mobile Health Card will serve as valid proof of health insurance coverage throughout Alberta and can be presented at hospitals, clinics and other medical settings – just like the current paper card. The Mobile Health Card will offer a more secure, convenient and durable alternative to the paper document.

The Mobile Health Card will be available to eligible Albertans aged 14 and older. Parents and guardians will be able to add their children’s Mobile Health Cards to their own Alberta Wallets. Spouses and interdependent partners can also add each other's Mobile Health Cards to their Alberta Wallets.

The new Alberta Wallet and Mobile Health Card are optional, and while they are a smarter and faster alternative to the physical cards, Albertans who prefer paper health cards can still use them.

To access the wallet, Albertans will need a Verified Alberta.ca Account and a MyHealth Records account to add their Mobile Health Card. More documents will be added over time and Albertans will be able to access them through the mobile application or online through their Verified Alberta.ca Account.

As part of the health care card modernization initiative, Alberta will also introduce an integrated driver’s licence and health care card in 2026.
