- RbertalottoExplorerI'm amazed how easy this seems! Did you have to relinquish your current drivers license or could you keep it and have two licenses?

If you are using a South Dakota mail forwarding address, you will need to complete the residency affidavit. You will also need to provide a receipt from a South Dakota hotel/motel, campground, or RV park to prove one night of stay within the last year and ONE DOCUMENT no more than one year old proving your personal mailbox (PMB) service address (receipt from the PMB business or a piece of mail with your PMB address on it). If you have friends or family in South Dakota and plan to use their address, complete and follow the instructions on the consent for use of address form. You can find these forms under the applications and forms tab on the right side of this page.
Veterans
Veterans who have been honorably discharged from the military have the option of adding the word “Veteran” to the front of their South Dakota driver license or identification card. In addition to the documents listed above, they will need to present one of the following:
DD-214 form which shows their honorable discharge status from active duty
Present a certificate signed by a county or tribal veteran’s service officer verifying their status
DD Form 2 (Retired)
DD Form 2A (Reserve Retired)
Note to current or new CDL applicants: If you are required to carry a medical examiners certificate (DOT medical card), you must show a valid card at the driver exam station.

Mail inquries to: South Dakota Driver Licensing Program, 118 West Capitol Avenue, Pierre, SD 57501 - Old-BiscuitExplorer IIIWhen we FTd we used 'Alternative Resources' out of Sioux Falls for several yrs. then we 'moved' and used 'Americas Mailbox' out of Box Elder for last few yrs.
Both preformed very well.
Thing is 'SD Mail Forwarding Businesses' are in business of handling mail.
It is what they do....and would NOT be in business very long if they didn't do it well. (Same for TX/FL mail forwarding services).
They are NOT the US POST Office.
Pick the one that fits your needs......location, services provided, costs etc.
As for SD driver's Licenses.
We had CA DL. Stopped in at a fire station in Spearfish (that was were the mobile DMV was that day). Filled out application, showed necessary paperwork, had our picture taken, paid our fee and got our new SD DLs.
Took a whole 20 minutes for both of us----I was slower on filling out application :B
