You can pay your SAAQ (Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec) bill. such as your vehicle registration, driver’s licence renewal, or accessible parking permit. Choose the bill pay method in Chexy to pay this bill.
🗓️ Part 1: Choosing the right SAAQ payee
SAAQ has 12 payees — one for each month of the year.
The correct payee depends on the first two digits of your reference number.
✅ How to choose
The first two digits show the month of renewal.
Match that month to the payee name in Chexy.
Numéro de l’avis Prefix | Select This Payee |
01 | SAAQ-IMMATRICULATION (01) JAN |
02 | SAAQ-IMMATRICULATION (02) FEB |
03 | SAAQ-IMMATRICULATION (03) MAR |
04 | SAAQ-IMMATRICULATION (04) APR |
05 | SAAQ-IMMATRICULATION (05) MAY |
06 | SAAQ-IMMATRICULATION (06) JUN |
07 | SAAQ-IMMATRICULATION (07) JUL |

09 | SAAQ-IMMATRICULATION (09) SEP |

⚠️ Common error
If you have chosen an SAAQ payee and see a message like:
“The account number does not contain correct prefix.”
…it usually means the payee month doesn’t match your reference number.
For example:
Reference number starts with 11 → correct payee: (11) NOV
If you chose (10) OCT, you’ll get the “incorrect prefix” error even if the number has 15 digits.
🔢 Part 2: Entering your SAAQ reference number
Your SAAQ payment notice includes a 16-digit reference number called the Numéro de l’avis.
You’ll find it near the top of your SAAQ renewal notice. Enter this number in the Account number field.
✅ What to do
Enter the first 15 digits of your reference number in Chexy.
Do not include the final digit (the 16th number).
💡 Some banks and systems — including Chexy — only accept 15 digits.
The last digit on your notice is a check digit, so it’s normal to leave it out.
If you enter more than 15 digits, you’ll see an error message asking you to shorten the number.
