Expired Registration charges in South Dakota
An expired registration citation alleges your vehicle's registration had lapsed. Many are 'fix-it' style citations that can be resolved by renewing and showing proof. In South Dakota, a conviction adds demerit points toward the South Dakota DPS suspension threshold of 15 points in 12 months, and the conviction follows you to your insurer.
