Saskatchewan change of address checklist

The complete checklist for changes of address in Saskatchewan

Every year, you subscribe to different services whether it be a new internet provider or a popular magazine. However, no matter how useful or life-changing these services are, when it comes time to pack all your belongings and move, updating the mailing address to all your subscriptions is the last thing on your mind.

To help simplify this task, we have created an easy to use address checklist specific to Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI)

Your Saskatchewan driver’s
licence lasts for 5 years. It is only after those 5 years that you will need to renew your licence and get a new photo before the expiry date.
