STURGIS, S.D. – Officials in Meade County say people who have vehicle licenses expiring in November should buy their tags early.
Meade County Treasurer Robin Shrake, urged residents, who have motor vehicle licenses expiring in November, to purchase their tags early. She says residents with last names that begin with T through Z will be affected.
In a release, Shrake says “the South Dakota Division of Motor Vehicles is implementing a new computer software system that is going live on Monday, November 29.”
She says this is the first time since 2008 the state has changed its computerized licensing procedure.
Shrake says most residents are unaware that at the time they purchase their licenses at their local treasurer’s office this transaction is simultaneously interacting with the state’s computer system in Pierre.
Although state officials are confident in the new system, they expect it could pose some time delays because it is interconnected with hundreds of users all across the state.
