How do I apply for a learner's permit?
To apply for a learner's permit in South Dakota, you must be at least 14 years old and pass a knowledge test. You will need to bring appropriate identification, proof of South Dakota residency, and your Social Security number to a local DMV office. Additionally, you must have a parent or legal guardian with you to sign the application if you are under 18. Once you pass the knowledge test, pay the required fees, and pass a vision screening, you will be issued a learner's permit. This permit allows you to practice driving with a licensed adult who is at least 18 years old. Remember to comply with all restrictions and requirements while driving with a learner's permit.
