PIERRE, S.D. — The South Dakota Department of Revenue will begin offering Oglala Lakota Sioux Tribe specialty license plates May 1.

Vehicle owners may apply for the new tribal license plates at any time by visiting their local county treasurer’s office or online at https://mysdcars.sd.gov during their renewal period. The plates will be available for the cost of $10 plus a $5 mailing fee.

“We are pleased to add the Oglala Sioux Tribe’s specialty plate, as we now offer plates representing all nine tribes in South Dakota,” Motor Vehicle Division Director Lisa Weyer said. “The $10 fee associated with these plates is dispersed to the designated tribe for the maintenance, construction and supervision of tribal highways and bridges.”

The new plates will be a part of South Dakota’s plate on-demand program. The plates will be printed after the application is submitted, and residents will receive their plates by mail within 10 business days.

The Department of Revenue also offers standard and veteran tribal license plates for the following tribes:

• Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe
• Crow Creek Sioux Tribe
• Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe
• Lower Brule Sioux Tribe
• Rosebud Sioux Tribe
• Sisseton-Wahpeton Sioux Tribe
