“The register of deeds shall be the local registrar of vital records for each registration district in this state” (SDCL 34-25-4.1), and the Department of Health says to order “in person at the State Office, 221 West Capitol Avenue, Pierre, SD 57501, or any South Dakota Register of Deeds”.

Free for service members and veterans — certified death copies

South Dakota law says no charge may be madefor a certified copy of a birth, death or marriage record “to a serviceman in or a veteran of any war or conflict”, or to a member of their family, when it is needed for a claim (SDCL 34-25-54). It is not discretionary, and it binds the register of deeds as local registrar. Tell the office when you ask that you are asking under SDCL 34-25-54. SDCL 34-25-54 ↗
