The short answer

These are the steps the South Dakota agency lists to restore a license after a suspension for no insurance. The state's reinstatement fees are $75 to $225, depending on the suspension. Whether an SR-22 is also required depends on your case.

Steps listed by the South Dakota agency

  1. Check the status of your South Dakota driver license online
  2. Establish proof of financial responsibility for the future before driving or re-registering any vehicle
  3. File proof of insurance (SR-22) with the state for three years from the date of conviction
  4. Pay the license reinstatement fee ($75 for a suspension) plus the application fee when eligible
