Firearm Registration Forms
South Dakota does not compile a system of registration for firearms within the state, so individuals who wish to obtain a weapon will not be required to register. Carrying a long gun openly is acceptable in allowable areas, and the carry of a handgun outside of one’s private property will mandate the granting of a Concealed Carry Weapons Permit. The state offers a total of 3 different permits, each allowing for transport within individual specified states. To apply for a permit, you can arrive at your local county sheriff’s office with the following documents in hand:
- A notarized South Dakota Concealed Pistol Permit Application
- Proof of fulfillment of an accepted gun safety course
- A valid photo identification card or driver’s license
- A fingerprint identification card
- Proper payment to cover all associated fees
