When registering an auto in Saskatchewan, what is included in the registration process?

The registration process for an auto in Saskatchewan involves more than just the payment of a registration fee. It includes both the payment of an insurance premium and the basic plate insurance, which is a mandatory component of vehicle registration in the province.

In Saskatchewan, all registered vehicles must have basic auto insurance coverage as part of the registration process. This is designed to ensure that all drivers have a minimum level of insurance to protect against liabilities arising from accidents. Therefore, when registering a vehicle, the owner must not only pay the registration fee but also provide proof of active insurance, which typically includes paying an insurance premium for basic coverage.

This process ensures compliance with provincial regulations aimed at protecting drivers and the public, while also promoting road safety through mandatory insurance. Other options such as the separate purchase of an insurance policy or optional coverage do not encompass the requirements necessary for vehicle registration.
