Replacing a Lost Registration in South Dakota

Replacing Validation Stickers

If you lose either your registration or your stickers, you'll need to replace it at your fastest convenience. Otherwise, you risk being ticketed if you're stopped by the police, regardless of how legitimate your excuse.

Validation stickers are those tiny square decals you place on your rear license plate, indicating that your vehicle's registration has been paid for the year.

To replace them, complete an Application for Replacement of License Plates, Validation Stickers or Lost Title Document and deliver it to your local county treasurer's office. Call before visiting for fee information.

Replacing a Lost Registration Certificate

Because registration certificates must be carried in your vehicle at all times, you'll want to obtain a duplicate as quickly as possible. There are no forms to download or complete. Instead you must visit your local county treasurer's office. Be sure to bring your driver's license and vehicle information (model, make, license plate number). Call before visiting for fee information.
