PHOTO ID CARDS AVAILABLE FROM SGI

Released on September 13, 2001

As passenger air travel in Canada commences, some Canadian airlines are now

requiring all travellers to provide photo identification before being

allowed to board an aircraft.



A photo identification card is available from SGI for all residents of

Saskatchewan, regardless of whether or not the individual is a licensed

driver.



Drivers or non-drivers can have their photo taken at any of the 450 SGI

motor licence issuers throughout Saskatchewan. It currently takes three to

five days for an individual to receive their photo ID card in the mail.

However, if someone needs emergency service, SGI will process the ID card

immediately and arrangements can be made for the individual to pick up the

card in Regina or Saskatoon, or it can be sent by courier on the same day.



Individuals need to bring two pieces of ID displaying their name, date of

birth and signature to be eligible for the photo identification card. The

photo ID card is free of charge for individuals with a valid Saskatchewan

driver's licence. Non-drivers and drivers who require same day service may

be charged a small fee.



"SGI will do its utmost to accommodate any Saskatchewan resident that

requires photo ID for air travel," said Alan Cockman, Vice President of

SGI's Auto Fund.



Older photo IDs taken under SGI's previous photo ID program are still being

accepted as valid photo identification for air travelling purposes. For

more information please contact your local motor licence issuer.
