The process of getting your vehicle registered in South Dakota is getting a makeover this month.

The State Department of Revenue’s Motor Vehicle Division is launching a new title and registration system called 605Drive.

The transition to the new system will take place in three phases:

  • February 7: Registration renewals will not be available on mySDCars.gov or at the DMVNow Kiosks. Registration renewals will remain available at county offices through 7:00 PM (CT), on February 13th.
  • February 14 – 16:  Motor vehicle transactions, including title transfers and registration renewals, will not be available. During that same time, the system transition will also delay a dealership’s ability to transfer a title and a financial institution’s ability to release liens.
  • February 17: Access to registrations will be available at county treasurer offices, DMVNow Kiosks, and through the new online platform, whose link can be found on the Department’s website at dor.sd.gov by clicking “Vehicle Registration and Plates” under Online Services.
