Registering vehicle in South Dakota

TLBaja79 - 8-31-2026 at 05:38 PM

I know this has been discussed previously but I'm looking for any first hand knowledge of registering my vehicle in South Dakota

I have a vehicle I keep in Mexico, can't bring it back to California for various reasons.

Anybody have good recent experience with a business I can have register my vehicle in SD? Get SD plates, etc.....

Let me know the best company to work with on this.
Thank you!

easy do it yourself.
must have valid US driver license
must have US address
then you mail in your title to register in SD
they'll mail you new title, plates and stickers
