Sask Permit Office – Regina, SK

Commercial Transport and Permitting

The Sask Permit Office is a specialized division of Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) dedicated to the regulation and support of the commercial trucking industry. Located on Donnelly Crescent in the northwest industrial sector of Regina, this office plays a critical role in maintaining road safety and infrastructure integrity by managing the issuance of permits for non-standard vehicle operations. It serves as the primary authority for carriers operating within or passing through Saskatchewan.

Permitting Services

• Oversize and Overweight Permits: Issuance of single-trip and term permits for vehicles and loads that exceed standard legal dimensions or weight limits.
• Non-Divisible Loads: Specialized authorization for transporting large, indivisible items such as agricultural equipment, industrial machinery, and prefabricated structures.
• Inter-Provincial Registration: Assistance with the International Registration Plan (IRP) and other cross-border licensing requirements for commercial fleets.
• Trip and Fuel Permits: Temporary authorization for out-of-province carriers entering Saskatchewan for short-term operations.

Digital and Remote Access

To support the 24/7 nature of the logistics industry, the Sask Permit Office offers extensive remote services. Carriers can utilize the Electronic Registry of Online Permits (EROC) to self-issue standard permits efficiently. The office maintains extended hours of operation, open seven days a week from early morning until late evening, to ensure that transport companies can obtain necessary approvals without costly delays to their supply chains.

Regulatory Compliance

Staff at the Permit Office work closely with Ministry of Highways engineers and enforcement officers to determine safe routing for super-loads. They provide guidance on bridge clearances, construction zones, and seasonal weight restrictions to prevent infrastructure damage. The office also handles inquiries regarding the National Safety Code (NSC) and carrier safety fitness ratings.
