 Saskatchewan stopped issuing the stickers on November 1, 2012, as a cost saving measure.Most validation stickers are either serialized (with the serial number recorded on the registration), or are printed by a special printer at the time of registration or renewal with the vehicle's licence plate number on them to discourage fraudulent sticker use, as the sticker will be valid only for the plate for which it was intended.Currently, Québec, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are the only provinces in which decals are not used.
