What others are saying

“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 dirt bike’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%. Tax exemptions only apply in rare cases, as shown here.

    Both 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.

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

  • Yes, we do! You can select Afterpay at checkout to split your payment in 4.

    • 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

    • Quiet exhaust with muffler

    • Spark arrestor (if you plan to use trails, OHV areas, etc.)

    • Seat belts

    • 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, the Montana LLC route is the best one to take. Here's what you're going to get:
