          Vehicle storage: Earn some peace of mind by scheduling your vehicle storage ahead of time without having to go to a service outlet. If your vehicle is owned by more than one person (co-ownership), a registrant must be designated in order to store it online.

          Renewal of driver’s licence with photo: The SAAQ now reuses the photo it currently has on file to issue your new plasticized licence. To find out when your new plasticized licence will be mailed to you, refer to our update regarding the renewal of your plasticized driver’s licence with photo.

          Before calling us or heading to a service outlet, see our FAQ page or make an appointment.
