South Dakota DMV guides

• Visiting the South Dakota DMV: appointments, what to bring and what to expect
• South Dakota driver license and ID card: first license, renewal, replacement and REAL ID
• Registering and titling a vehicle in South Dakota: new residents, purchases and renewals
• Where to take the driving test in South Dakota

  In South Dakota, the drive test is taken at a South Dakota Driver Exam Station, and every visit for a knowledge or drive test needs an appointment. The Sioux Falls Express Station does not offer testing; the agency sends you to the main Sioux Falls Driver Exam Station instead. Check the agency's page before you book a test.
