Beddington Registry Services

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.

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.

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.
