PIERRE The Department of Revenues Motor Vehicle Division will launch a new title and registration system, 605Drive, on Feb. 17.
Training for the new system began on Dec. 9 with basic trainings for county and internal users. Since then, 18,060 computer-based training modules have been assigned to county users. Fifty-one counties have completed 80% of those training courses.
The transition to the new system will occur in three phases. Starting on Feb. 7, registration renewals will not be available on mySDCars.gov or at the DMVNow kiosks. Registration renewals will continue to be available at county offices through 7 p.m. on Feb. 13, although its recommended that you check with your treasurer’s office to see if it has an earlier stop time to work through its end-of-day processes.
Between Feb. 14 and Feb. 16, motor vehicle transactions, including title transfers and registration renewals, will not be available. During that same time, the system transition will also delay a dealerships ability to transfer a title and a financial institutions ability to release liens.
The new system will launch on Feb. 17. Access to registrations will be available at county treasurer offices, DMVNow kiosks and through the new online platform, whose link can be found on the departments website at dor.sd.gov by clicking Vehicle Registration and Plates under Online Services.
The department recommends vehicle owners who renew in February renew their registration early to avoid any delays.
