South Dakota commission
What South Dakota sets for notaries
Your commission comes from the South Dakota Secretary of State. A South Dakota commission lasts exactly six years from the commission date. Renewal uses the same form and fee as a new application; file early to keep your dates, because the office can't backdate.
Fee cap for a notarial act in South Dakota: A fee per instrument is allowed; the statute states no dollar maximum (SDCL 18-1-9). The statute sets no travel fee. Agree on any travel charge with the notary before the act and ask for a receipt.
