This official Saskatchewan licence plate to honour our veterans is a single plate that goes on the rear of the vehicle.
Note: If you have a veteran plate on the rear of your vehicle, you can't display a different plate on the front of your vehicle, including a personalized plate.
While SGI doesn't charge you for your veteran plate, there is a $5 application fee and regular registration fees and insurance premiums do still apply.
Eligibility
Veteran eligibility is determined by the Saskatchewan Command of the Royal Canadian Legion. Your status as a veteran must be approved before an application for a veteran plate (pdf, 410 kb) can be made.
Family of veterans is not eligible, and veteran plates can't be transferred to others. In addition, the veteran must be a Saskatchewan resident to qualify.

Souvenir veteran plates
If you're a veteran who doesn't own a vehicle but who wishes to obtain a veteran plate for display purposes, you can still apply for a veteran plate.
You will receive a regular series veteran plate, even if you don't plan to validate it. A non-validated souvenir veteran plate cannot be displayed on the rear or front of a vehicle.
Souvenir veteran plates are not available to the general public or to family members of veterans.
