South Dakota Registration

In South Dakota, the annual vehicle registration renewal month is determined by the first letter of the owner’s last name or the company’s name (see chart in FAQ's) Renewals are due on the last day of the renewal month and can be completed up to 90 days before the expiration date. Residents must renew their registration in their county of residence, and only the vehicle owner or someone with written authorization can complete the renewal.
