Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) is launching its new facial recognition software on Aug. 24, which will be in place when issuing new driver’s licences and photo ID cards.

Customers won’t notice anything different if they get a new photo taken or receive a new card. Customers are not required to get a new photo or card until their current one expires.

SGI announced it would move towards facial recognition technology in October 2015.
