Acceptable Photo Identification

Photo ID - Your BEST option to take to the polls

Acceptable photo identification is ID that is government-issued, valid and has your photo, name and address. If your identification does not meet these criteria it will not be recognized as an acceptable form of photo identification.

Examples include:

• A valid Saskatchewan Driver's Licence. (If you still have a two-piece licence, make sure you have both pieces).
• A valid Saskatchewan ID card issued by SGI or any motor licence issuer. (Available for $10 or free for seniors).
• Any other valid government issued photo ID issued by a Canadian government whether federal, provincial or municipal, or an agency of that government, so long as it includes your name and address.

If you do not currently have photo identification you can acquire non-drivers photo-ID from SGI.

For a complete list of acceptable identification view Appendix D - Table 1 page 109-111 of The Local Government Election Regulations (link below).  

Please note:

A Canadian passport is not an acceptable form of photo identification because it does not contain your address. However, a Canadian passport can be used as identification if paired with another document that has your name and address on it. See non-photo ID options .
