The state of South Dakota is set to transition to a new motor vehicle licensing system, 605 Drive, on February 18. This shift will replace the current SD Cars system, marking a significant update in the state’s approach to motor vehicle licensing.
In preparation, the Meade County Treasurer’s Office, along with other counties in South Dakota, has been undergoing training for the new system.
Staff will continue to train on the system, including additional sessions on President’s Day, February 17, to ensure they are fully prepared for the transition.
As part of the transition, the system will be offline starting February 14, preventing anyone in the state from licensing or titling a motor vehicle.
Additionally, DMV Now Kiosks will be unavailable for registration renewals beginning February 7. The state is working to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible for residents and local officials.
