Your driver's licence expires on the last day of your birth month or the last day of the month that your immigration documents expire.
Saskatchewan driver's licences offer enhanced security features and meet international standards, integrating facial recognition technology.
You must show your licence if a peace officer asks to see it. If you don't have your licence with you at the time, the officer may allow you up to 48 hours to produce it. If your licence includes any restrictions, you must obey the restrictions when driving. See restriction codes.
If you're a visitor or temporary foreign worker, your existing licence gives you all of the same privileges it does in your home province, territory or state exluding Class 1 vehicles (semis). If you want to drive a semi, you will need to take Mandatory Entry-Level Training and get a Saskatchewan Class 1 driver's licence. As a visitor to Saskatchewan, you aren't eligible to apply for a Saskatchewan driver's licence. Visitors don’t have to register their vehicle in this province unless they become a resident.
Full-time students attending approved educational institutions, as well as their immediate families, don't have to exchange their driver's licence during the time they are living here to attend classes. Your existing licence gives you all of the same privileges it does in your home province, territory or state, excluding Class 1 vehicles (semis). If you become a Saskatchewan resident you may drive using your current driver's licence and vehicle plates for 90 days after taking up residence.

Fake ID
Do the right thing and only use your own legal driver’s licence or photo ID card. It’s a criminal offence to alter a photo ID card or the driver’s licence paper certificate in any way. It may not seem like a big deal, but there are serious consequences to using fraudulent ID, or loaning your ID for fraudulent purposes, including:
- getting your real driver’s licence suspended for at least three months
- a fine of at least $125
- a possible fraud conviction under the Criminal Code that could affect your
- employment, your education and chances of travelling outside of Canada
