South Dakota Driver License by: Coleen, the RVing editor
To get a South Dakota Driver License you need to go there in person. If you present them with a valid driver's license from another state and one other ID, you do not need to take either a written knowledge test or a driving skills test. You would need to take a vision test.
A SD Driver License is valid for five years. The cost is $8.00. Renewals must also be done in person, but can be done anytime within 180 days of the expiration date, so it does allow for flexibility in your travel plans.
The above information is from the South Dakota Driver License Program website and was accurate summer 2009. (However, regulations and fees do change.) You can also find the Driver Manual, rules of the road, and other helpful info there. http://www.state.sd.us/dps/dl/
UPS Store Mailbox by: Anonymous
For a physical address you can use a UPS Store mailbox. I've had mine for several months as a full timer. This is less expensive then the mailing service's. The folks in Souix Falls are great and will eliminate your third class mail if you choose.
