South Dakota Vehicle Registration 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.

Ready for us to handle the rest?

“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.

All you’ll have to do is sign the paperwork!

For more details and to get your very own South Dakota registration, scroll down below.

Ask us anything.

    • ID/Passport/Drivers License (Copy)

    • Social Security Card, 1099, W2, 1098, or Pay Stub with full social security number displayed. (Copy)

    • Title/MCO (can be a salvage title)

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

    • Bill of Sale (unless you have a title in your name or signed over to you)

    • An odometer statement (if the mileage is not listed on the title or bill of sale and the vehicle is 2011 or newer)

    • Business Documents (only if registering in your existing business name. We will need a copy of ALL member’s IDs and proof of social)

  • 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.

  • South Dakota will collect 4% sales tax on the entire amount of tax that has not been already been paid to the DMV.

    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.

    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.

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