During World War II, stickers were issued in 1944 to validate the 1943 licence plates.

The slogan "Wheat Province" appeared on vehicle registration licence plates started in 1951 for three years. From 1956 to 1959, the slogan was re-used.

According to, Jerry "Woody" from Edmonton, Canada, it was only after 1955 that Saskatchewan plates were 6 X 12 inches which is the current size. 1955 was Saskatchewan's 50th anniversary celebrating becoming a province in 1905.

Scotchlite reflectorization on licence plate was started in 1958 and 1959 on an experimental basis. 1965 marked another provincial anniversary, 60 years or the Diamond Jubilee. [cite web
