Are you eligible?

To book your road test you must be at least 16 with parental approval, have held your Class 7 learner's licence for at least 9 months, and have completed mandatory driver education from an SGI-certified instructor.

What's tested

You provide the vehicle (must meet safety requirements — working signals, brake lights, horn, valid plate). The examiner assesses:

  • Starting, stopping and turning
  • Traffic signs and signals
  • Proper lane driving and intersections (controlled and uncontrolled)
  • Backing up and hazard anticipation
  • Parallel parking and two-point turns

The test usually takes about 20 minutes, though it varies with traffic and weather.

Cost and how to book

Passing grade: 9 demerits or less. Cost: $55 per attempt. Book and prepay through MySGI, or call/visit a SGI motor licence issuer near you to book at your nearest exam office. In smaller centres, road test appointments are reserved for local residents only.

If you provide a cellphone number, you'll get confirmation and reminder texts, plus the ability to check in by text on test day. Cancel before your scheduled time if you can't make it, or you'll have to pay again for the next appointment.

If you pass

You become a Class 5 Novice 1 driver. Validate your new licence at a motor licence issuer and pay a $15 fee.

If you fail

You can't retest for at least 2 weeks, but you can book the appointment right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the Saskatchewan road test cost?

Can I take the road test in any city?

Yes, but smaller centres reserve appointments for local residents only — larger centres like Regina and Saskatoon have more availability.
