File a complaint regarding an SAAQ service
You can express your dissatisfaction regarding a service offered by the SAAQ, one of its representatives or a driving school using our online form, or by mail, by fax or by telephone.
Before filing a complaint, discuss your dissatisfaction
We suggest that you first discuss your situation with:
- a customer service representative
- the employee assigned to your file
- the driving school employee
- if applicable, the immediate supervisor of the employee with whom you have had contact
The person you speak with may be able to offer a satisfactory solution.
If you communicate with the SAAQ, always note:
- the name of the employees with whom you speak
- the date of the telephone calls you receive or make
- a summary of the discussions
- the results of your discussions
If your dissatisfaction persists, you can file a complaint with the SAAQ
If you are not satisfied with the solution offered by the person you speak with, you can file a complaint. If you decide to do so, we will ask you to provide the information we need in order to open a file regarding your complaint. If necessary, you may be asked to provide additional information when your complaint is analyzed.
Who may file a complaint?
Individuals and businesses may have a representative act on their behalf, provided that authorization to do so has been granted.
A representative may be:
- a family member or a friend
