Information

Once an application is submitted, it must be completed within 120 days. Special arrangements must be made to extend the 120 day time period.

The Board strongly suggests that applicants not make commitments to start practicing or working in South Dakota until a license, permit, registration or certificate is issued.
Some applicants make commitments to start working on a specific date, and then find that the commitment cannot be kept.
Every applicant has a unique history.
Primary source verification arrival determines the processing time.
At this time SD is not able to use the typical criminal background check (CBC) so completion of a background check does take longer in some instances because the applicant needs to do more in the way of providing any criminal/legal history.
The average timeline for application processing is 50 days for completion and licensing. This is an estimate.
The applicant and their authorized agents will be able to access an online status page to monitor the application progress.

Failure to renew shall result in automatic forfeiture or suspension of the license by statute. Licenses which have forfeited are not automatically entitled to renew.
