Saskatchewan Roughrider licence plates

SGI and the Saskatchewan Roughriders have teamed up to create a special Roughrider licence plate in celebration of the team’s 100th anniversary. However, Rider plates will continue to be available after 2010.

After covering administration costs, SGI will provide the revenues earned from the sale of Rider plates to the Saskatchewan Roughrider Football Club.

Plate display

The Rider plate is a single, official Saskatchewan licence plate to be displayed on the rear of the vehicle. The initial production of Rider plates will have an R followed by 4 numbers, starting with R0000.

You cannot display other Saskatchewan plates having a different plate number or background design on the front of your vehicle while displaying a Rider plate on the rear. This includes personalized licence plates, veteran plates or regular series plates. This is to allow law enforcement to properly identify a vehicle.

Eligibility

Any individual or company that is eligible to display a Saskatchewan licence plate on their vehicle can purchase a Rider plate. However, Rider plates are only available in the large format plate – they are not available in the smaller format for motorcycles or snowmobiles.

Costs

The cost to purchase a Rider plate is:

$50 + GST for a single regular series Rider plate for display on the rear of your vehicle
$20 + GST for a duplicate of the same Rider plate to display on the front of your vehicle

These costs are in addition to the regular registration fees and insurance premiums associated with your vehicle.

Plate purchase

To purchase a Rider plate for yourself, or as a gift for someone else, just visit an SGI motor licence issuer.

They will place the order for you, and collect the fee of $50 + GST.
You will receive your Rider plate in the mail.
Before displaying it on a vehicle, it will need to be activated at an issuing office. This will register the plate to the vehicle and ensure you are properly registered and insured.
The issuer will provide licence plate stickers and an updated certificate of registration reflecting your new Rider plate number.
If you are replacing another licence plate in your name with the Rider plate, just ask the issuer to activate your new Rider plate in place of your old plate.

Special order Rider licence plates

To order any of the following options, submit a personalized licence plate (PLP) application form and a cheque or money order payable to SGI for the associated fee.

Special order options:

You can move your existing PLP slogan to your Rider plate, as long as your current slogan is 5 characters or less. A $50 + GST fee applies for the Rider plate, plus $20 for the plate replacement.
You can request a new PLP slogan of 5 characters or less for your Rider plate. The cost is the normal PLP fee of $75, plus the Rider plate fee of $50, for a total of $125 + GST.
When you order your Rider plate, you can request a duplicate plate to display on the front of your vehicle. The fee is $20 + GST.

Replacing lost or stolen Rider plates

If you need to replace your Rider plate because it is lost or stolen, your issuer can provide you with a regular Saskatchewan licence plate to display on your vehicle while we order a replacement Rider plate for you. A $20 fee applies.

When you receive your replacement Rider plate, you will need to visit your issuer to activate the new plate, and receive your licence plate stickers and replacement registration certificate.

Automobile extension policies

If you have an automobile extension policy, it is important to notify your insurance broker when you change your licence plate number. When you validate your Rider plate, be sure to call them to advise them of your new Rider plate number.
