Common Questions

What is the County Clerk requirement?

None. South Dakota does not list a county step: documents must be properly certified by the issuing agency or notarized by a South Dakota notary public.

Can I walk in?

South Dakota does not accept walk-in appointments. You can drop off documents at 500 East Capitol Avenue, Suite 112, Pierre (Mon–Fri 9:00 AM–4:00 PM; most orders completed within 1-2 business days) or book an expedited appointment (+$50).
