Applying for veteran plates

Before you can get a veteran plate, your status as a veteran must be approved by the Saskatchewan Command of the Royal Canadian Legion.

Follow the steps below:

1. Fill out the Veteran plate application form (pdf, 410 kb).
2. Attach a photocopy of the appropriate documentation to your application form:
   • Retired Personnel - Canadian Forces discharge certificate/certificate of service (both sides) or equivalent for Merchant Navy, Allied forces, etc.
   • Serving Personnel - Canadian Forces identification card plus personal service record information.
   • Police Personnel - Letter from the applicant's police service confirming their operation in a NATO operation or a United Nations Peacekeeping mission.
3. Mail the completed form, along with photocopies of proof of service and the $5 application fee (cheque or money order payable to the Royal Canadian Legion, Saskatchewan Command) to the Royal Canadian Legion at the address listed at the top of the application form.
   • To check the status of your application, call the Royal Canadian Legion, Saskatchewan Command at 306-525-8739.
4. Once the Legion receives the application, they'll determine your eligibility and, if the application is approved, the Legion will forward it to SGI in Regina.
5. SGI will assign the next veteran plate number and mail the plate to the motor licence issuer you wrote on your application form.
   • If you have more than 1 eligible vehicle registered or jointly registered in your name, you can order a veteran plate for each vehicle. Just write the number of vehicles licensed in your name on the Veteran plate application form.
6. Once you've been approved for a veteran plate by the Saskatchewan Command of the Royal Canadian Legion, SGI will record it. That way, you won't have to go through the approval process for future veteran plate orders.
7. SGI will send you a letter when your veteran plate is ready for pick-up. This should be within 10 days of your original application to the Legion. Visit your motor licence issuer with your current licence plate and vehicle registration, and the issuer will process the transaction to replace your existing plate with your new veteran plate.
