South Dakota Foreign Registration / About
About this South Dakota service
South Dakota Foreign Registration helps companies formed elsewhere get South Dakota authority to do business, and keeps the paperwork straight afterward.
What an order includes
A brief questionnaire, the application written up from your answers, the home certificate ordered to match, and the filing with the Secretary of State.
Better asked elsewhere
Questions such as whether earlier activity amounted to doing business, or which South Dakota taxes apply, are for a South Dakota lawyer or an accountant to answer.
