All South Dakota based prorate licensed vehicles must have a South Dakota title or an interstate title. This interstate title allows the owner to retain the out of state title, yet license in the state of South Dakota. Send this material to the Office of the Prorate and Commercial Licensing at the address given on the cover page of this document. The office will calculate the cost of your license and send you a bill. Return the top portion of the bill along with your payment made payable to the South Dakota Department of Revenue.
Interest is assessed monthly until payment is received.
Review these to make sure they are correct. If you are a new applicant, you may request an immediate, although temporary, prorate clearance. This temporary clearance allows interstate travel in the same manner as a permanent prorate license but is only valid for a maximum of 45 days or until the end of the current registration year. Once issued, licensing of each unit commences upon the date of issuance of the temporary or until the end of the licensing period. The temporary cannot be voided once issued and licensing cannot be cancelled.
