Vet Designators on Driver's Licenses – new law in South Dakota

A new law in South Dakota now allows military veterans with honorable discharges to have a veteran designation on their state-issued driver license. South Dakota veterans who wish to add the designation to their driver license or non-driver ID card may visit any South Dakota driver license office. They will need to present their DD-214, which shows their honorable discharge status from active duty or present a certificate signed by a county or tribal veterans service officer verifying their status. For more information, call the office of Cindy Gerber, Director of the South Dakota Driver Licensing Program, at 1.800.952.3696 or 605.773.6883. For assistance with obtaining your DD-214, contact your county/tribal veterans service officer or call the South Dakota Department of Veterans Affairs at 605.773.3269.
