SD Drivers License Renewal

[2Scampers]

Has anyone tried to renew their SD drivers license early. I will be traveling there this summer but my license are not due until next February. Was hoping to get it done six months early.

I suspect they would allow this, but why not call and confirm. I was up there 2 months before mine was to expire and had no issues.

Also, be sure to check the operating days for the office you hope to use - they are not all open every day.

Hang in there folks, SB45 is a bill to allow renewal of your license online or by mail every other time. It has passed the Senate and all committees unanimously, is awaiting vote in the House this week then the Governor.
Enactment will likely be by July, while the LRC and DOH make the rules and set up the system.
Go to sd.gov and read it!

You can request an extension. My DH's expired in April and mine in July. He wrote for and was granted in writing an extension that was good to the end of that year. We went up in July and renewed both of them. In 2009, this was the number we called for the necessary form: 800.952.3696. I have read (from other posters), however, that you can renew up to 180 days prior.
