- Pay the applicable annual fee.
- Identify the APEGS members who are professionally responsible for work undertaken under the Certificate of Authorization. The information APEGS has on record can be reviewed through the “Renew Now” process. Instructions to make any required changes are provided in the system.
Fees and Payment Deadlines
Annual fees for the upcoming year are posted in APEGS Central by mid-November. For current fee amounts, visit the Annual Fees webpage.
Fee notices are sent by email to current members, Temporary Licensees and Certificate of Authorization holders. To ensure you receive these notices, keep your contact information current in APEGS Central.

Options for Members Not Practising in Saskatchewan
If you are not practising professional engineering or professional geoscience on projects or properties located in Saskatchewan, one of the following options may be available depending on your circumstances:
Review each option for its eligibility requirements, restrictions, and application / notification process.
If Your Registration Ceases
Registration Ceased for Non-Payment
Members, Temporary Licensees and Certificate of Authorization holders who do not pay their annual fees by the deadline will have their registration ceased for non-payment. A 15% penalty applies if reinstatement is requested during the same calendar year.
When registration ceases for non-payment, the member, Temporary Licensee or Certificate of Authorization holder is no longer in good standing. Cessation may affect the requirements and options that apply to a future reinstatement.
For more information, visit the Reinstatement webpage.
If You Do Not Reinstate by December 31
An individual who wishes to reinstate by December 31 of the year their membership ceased must contact APEGS and complete the required steps. After December 31, additional application requirements and fees may apply. Review the Reinstatement webpage for details.
Practising After Your Registration Ceases
A person whose registration has ceased for non-payment is no longer authorized to practise professional engineering or professional geoscience on projects or properties in Saskatchewan.
If APEGS receives information indicating that a former member may have practised without a current licence, APEGS will review the matter and take appropriate enforcement action under The Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act if required.
Practising without a licence may also be a factor considered if the individual later applies for registration or reinstatement. Applicants must satisfy APEGS’ registration requirements, including the applicable good character requirements set out in sections 4 to 6 of the Regulatory Bylaws. Further information is available in the APEGS Good Character Guideline.
