Renewing Sask Vehicle Registration

[I-Hate-Hulse]

So the girlfriend's vehicle registration runs out soon and since her and the vehicle came from Sask for school here we're trying to figure out how to renew this. The catch is that we'd rather not hoof it out to SK unless we have to. I see that SGI lacks online payment so that rules that out. Does anyone know if:

1) Mailing or calling in payment is possible?

2) Does her vehicle have to be there for registration if we do have to drive out? (It's a POS, and I'd rather take my car)

Thanks! (I suddenly like our de-centralized Registry system....)

I don't think that you need to have her car there to renew the registration. Just drive to the closest Saskatchewan Registry Office and bring the papers with you.

If you think renewing the car registration is crappy this way try doing your drivers' license this way. One year when I still had my British Columbia DL I drove from Camrose to Valemont in December while it was snowing. I drove six hours, got my license renwed and drove six hours back. Fun stuff.

Why didn't you just convert to an alta one, even if temporary?

I moved out here to BC for about 10 months - 1 year...but had to switch to a BC drivers license (my job required a car, which I had to get also, and apparently according to insurance people, if I was driving around with an alberta license and got into an accident...well they all just said that "I didn't want to go there").

Anyways, my BC license is good for 2 years - they took my alberta one, and then when I go back to Alberta, I just go to a registry office there and pick it up. And that's that.

Sucks though, because they still find a way to make you pay those #$@ fees, ....

I didn't get an Alberta DL at the time for two reasons:

1) I was a student living in Student Housing - No Permanent Alberta residence.
2) My insurance was much, much cheaper in BC and you need a BC DL to have BC insurance.

Fair enough there Reaper.

Just drive to Lloydminister and find a registry office there if you do have to drive out
