South Dakota Street Legal Service

Just so you know...

South Dakota charges 4% sales tax if you haven’t already paid it (it sucks, I know — but it’s much lower than most states, and you’ll be able to skip inspections and DMV hassles).

You’ll also want to send us your documents ASAP if you haven’t already titled your vehicle in your name so we can avoid any of South Dakota’s late registration fees.

Already paid sales tax?

Perfect. You'll just need proof in the form of a bill of sale showing tax paid and have the dealer sign off on our tax form, or you’ll need to provide proof in the form of a DMV receipt.

Which you’ll be able to do very soon.

The process is very simple on your end, and we’ll give you step-by-step instructions along the way.

 
 

But why should you register your OHV in South Dakota?

  • You can register if you are financing

  • Cost may be lower than a Montana registration if you’ve already paid sales tax

  • You’ll get a title for your vehicle if you don’t have one

  • Ride almost anywhere in the country

(If you haven't paid sales tax and you are NOT financing, use the Montana service here.)

And stay protected from cops in case you get pulled over

 
 

Riding without a registration can get you fined or even impounded.

We've seen it happen to many times across the country.

Yes, you may still get pulled over with a plate.

But getting hassled is RARE. Some cops have just never seen an off-road vehicle driving with a plate. Usually, if you explain the statutes and how you got registered, they’ll let you go. We include these for you in our Road To Freedom Guide so that you are always prepared for what to say.

 
 

And the best part…

Here’s everything you’ll get with your order:

 
 
 
  • South Dakota Registration
  • South Dakota License Plate
  • DMV Processing Fees Covered
  • BONUS - Pre-Filled Paperwork
  • BONUS - Shipping Label with Tracking Number
  • BONUS - Step-By-Step Checklist & Instructions
  • BONUS - Parts Guide
  • BONUS - What To Do If You Get Pulled Over Guide
  • BONUS - Text & Email Support
 
 

Not only will you get all the paperwork to ride on the streets…

You’ll get guides on how to stay legal and prevent any trouble with your local law enforcement.

Now there’s only one thing left…

 
 


Here’s what you need to get started:

  • ID/Passport/Drivers License (Copy)

  • Social Sec. Card, 1099, W2, 1098, or Pay Stub copy (your full Social Security number must be displayed)

  • Title/MCO with Bill of Sale, Transferable Registration, or just a Bill of Sale (if financing)

  • Sales Tax or Proof of tax paid (in the form of a dealer bill of sale or DMV tax receipt)

 
 


All you have to do now is click the “Start Registration” button below and we’ll guide you through our process.

“How can I get an out-of-state registration without being a resident?”

Simple.

South Dakota allows you to register from anywhere, without being a resident.

And because of reciprocity laws, you can use those plates to ride almost anywhere in the country.

Here’s how we do it all for you:

Once you make your order, you’ll be taken to a secure form where you can easily submit all your information and documents.

Then, we take care of everything from there!

We’ll look over your documents and make sure there are no mistakes, take care of them if there are, send everything over to the DMV, and communicate with them until your registration is ready.

Plus, we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

You won’t have to do any paperwork yourself!

Ask us anything.

    • ID/Passport/Drivers License (Copy)

    • Social Sec. Card, 1099, W2, 1098, or Pay Stub copy (your full Social Security number must be displayed)

    • Title/MCO with Bill of Sale, Transferable Registration, or just a Bill of Sale (if financing)

    • Sales Tax or Proof of tax paid (in the form of a dealer bill of sale or DMV tax receipt)

  • It’ll be 2-3 weeks to get the license plate and registration, and another 6-7 weeks to receive the title. Allow 3-8 weeks if you’re financing.

  • You need to renew your vehicle’s registration each year, but we’ve made it super easy so you don't have to deal with the hassle of contacting the DMV and sitting on hold for hours.

    All you need to do is sign up for our auto-renewal program. Once you’re enrolled, we’ll automatically process your renewal when it’s time for you to renew.

    That means whether you’re busy or have more important things to worry about, your registration renewal will automatically show up at your doorstep right when you need it! Simple.

    (we also have one-time registration renewal available).

  • It's simpler than you think! We’ve spent the better part of a decade finding the best insurance companies for these situations, so you don’t have to. Check out our insurance guide for more information.

  • Sales tax for South Dakota will be 4%.

    It will be calculated using the vehicle purchase price or NADA Value, whichever is HIGHER.

    Note: Dirt Legal will invoice you for tax if you owe it. You will not be auto-charged.

    If you’ve already paid taxes, you’ll need to provide proof of tax paid in one of two ways:

    1. If you paid tax to a dealership, we provide a form that has to be signed by the dealer which can be emailed to them, we can accept copies of this form.

    2. If you paid taxes to the DMV, then we need an actual DMV receipt, NOT a receipt from a private tag agency.

    Potential Penalty Fees

    South Dakota will also charge penalty fees and interest for any vehicle that has not been titled in your name within a timely manner. They allow 45 days before penalty fees and interest are added to the registration fees. You will want to make sure you send us your stuff as soon as possible since it can take them a week or so to begin processing the order from the time we mail them your documents.

  • Nope, just taxes (if you haven’t paid them yet) and your yearly renewal fee.

    • White headlights with low and high-beam

    • Red tail lights with brighter or separate brake light

    • Reflectors: yellow front and rear

    • White license plate light

    • Front and rear turn signals

    • DOT tires

    • Mirrors

    • Horn

    • Handbrake

    • Rollover protection

    • Windshield and wipers

    You DO NOT need these parts installed for us to get started and no inspection is needed.

    (You will, however, need these parts installed prior to driving so you don’t get a ticket).

The not so small print

Street-legal is NOT for the faint of heart.

Just because you have a plate doesn’t mean you’ll have 0 risks riding in your town — unfortunately, the laws just aren't that clear.

You may still get pulled over.

That being said, getting hassled is still RARE. Some cops have just never seen an off-road vehicle driving with a plate. Usually, if you explain the statutes and how you got registered, they’ll let you go.

All we're saying is, take these risks into account before you get started. If getting pulled over scares you, stick to the trails. Getting street-legal isn’t for you.

If you’re hell-bent on riding the streets, this is the best route to take.
