South Dakota plates

I just received the renewal postcard from Clay County, and it looks like they now require a SDakota ID to renew the registration. Does anyone have the scoop on this? Gracias!

You might give America's Mailbox a call. They can fix you up with a PO Box in South Dakota, plus do all the registration, etc. Hope that helps.

I just renewed mine - all you have to do is leave the space blank and send in your payment. No problem at all. I got mine.

I just changed my CA plates to SD on my motorcycle. Have only a CA address. I called them, asked how to do it, they gave me the details and no problem. This was earlier this week, the 22nd, I think. Be sure you let them know you are in Mexico. They might be feeling some heat from CA or TX.

..and enter auto info and amount. Then you can pay using credit card and Clay County Treasurer will mail your tags the next day.

If it's a first time, initial registration issue, a phone call to the treasurer is necessary to establish the fee. All vehicles are different.

I've heard US customs gives people a hard time about the SD plates. Is that true? Or is SD registration mainly for cars that don't go back into the states?

I have crossed Northbound with S.D. plates at both TJ and Tecate and have never been questioned about the plates.

I cross at TJ or Tecate every 4-6 weeks and at most get a comment like - "Is no one left in South Dakota?" and we all laugh. I think it is an issue for Sentri, but I don't use Sentri. Don't need it here as crossing times these days are usually 20 minutes or less. SD plates, not a problem.
