SOUTH DAKOTA STATUTORY GUIDELINES

LegalZoom.com customizes your legal DBA filing to comply with local requirements, no matter where you live. However, if you're interested in the specifics, they are listed below.

In South Dakota, without filing one cannot bring action for a business debt, and violations are a Class 2 misdemeanor.

Any person or co-partnership must provide the name of each person, the post-office address of each person, the residence address of each person, and the address where the main office of the business is to be maintained.

When filing, the DBA must be notarized by each person interested in the business, and the statement must be filed in the office of the register of deeds in each county where the business is.

In South Dakota, a DBA expires in five (5) years. For amendments, a notarized statement must be filed from time to time upon any change in ownership, operation, or persons interested in the business.
