Due to paper supply issues, the South Dakota Department of Revenue's Motor Vehicle Division has stopped printing paper titles effective immediately. The paper used for printing titles is very unique as it has built in security features to prevent fraud. The Department anticipates being able to start printing paper titles mid-February 2023.
Reasons for requesting a printed paper title include the titled owner moving out of state or the vehicle ownership needing to be transferred. If there is a lien on the vehicle title, the lienholder will have to request that the title be printed. All requests will be reviewed and processed as paper supplies allow.
