South Dakota birth records and South Dakota death records issued after July 1905 are available, for a fee and with proper government-issued photo identification, from the Vital Records office or at the Register of Deeds (http://doh.sd.gov/VitalRecords/County/default.aspx) of the county where the birth or death occurred. Many birth records for events occurring before 1905 were filed later and are in the system. For births older than 100 years, visit the searchable database at http://apps.sd.gov/applications/PH14Over100BirthRec/index.asp. Death records for deaths before 1960 are available in person and for same-day issuance only in the county of occurrence. South Dakota vital records may be ordered in person by mail by personal check or money order payable to South Dakota Department of Health or online by credit card at http://www.vitalchek.com.
