South Dakotans who had been delayed in renewing their registrations during the months of March and May of 2020 now have until July 31, 2020, to complete their registration renewals.
Additionally, any newly acquired vehicles, whose seller’s or temporary permits expired from the end of March through July 7, have until July 31, 2020 to title and register their vehicle. Interest and penalties associated with the extended title and registration periods will be waived, as long as they are current before August 1, 2020.
As of June 2020, individuals have been required to complete their annual registration renewals on time. Individuals will need to title any newly acquired vehicles within the allowed time frame. Interest and penalty charges will apply to missed deadlines.
The Department of Revenue offers options to complete many renewals online. Users are able to review and renew vehicle registration/decals and license plates, purchase new license plates, opt-in for email renewal and general notifications, find out the estimated renewal cost of vehicles, report the sale of a vehicle and print a seller’s permit. Annual license renewals can be done online through the Vehicle Registration & Plates portal at mysdcars.sd.gov.
DMV Now kiosks are also available in some towns, allowing residents to renew a vehicle registration in less than five minutes. A vehicle owner can navigate through the touch screen (voice assistance available) with a valid South Dakota driver’s license, South Dakota identification card, or if a company, the information provided on the renewal notice. Once the payment has been submitted and the transaction is completed, the renewal tags and vehicle registration are dispensed directly from the machine.

Additionally, you may renew registrations by mail to your local county offices. You will need to include a $1 mailing fee for registration cards and a driver’s license or identification card number. If you are looking to transfer your title, please contact your local treasurer with questions on the appropriate fees and documentation to be mailed in.
