UPDATE: New year, new fees: SGI hiking prices in 2017

Expect to pay more for SGI services in 2017.

The Crown corporation announced an increase in prices “to better reflect the costs of delivering services”, according to a news release.

Administrative fees for services such as driver testing, driver licensing, appeals and vehicle inspections have not been changed in more than 10 years.

Some of the increases include:

• Class 1, 2 or 3 license – road test increasing from $40 to $100
• Class 4 or 5 license – road test increasing from $22 to $55
• Driver’s license fees, including a new photograph, cancelling the license and other lincense associated fees, rise from $10 to $15
• Ignition interlock program fee increasing from $30 to $105

Many of the changes will be implemented on Jan. 1, with a few fees being implemented at some point in 2017.
