NOTARY / NOTARIAL SERVICES
The South Dakota Secretary of State has statutory authority over the notarial services in the State of South Dakota. The Secretary of State also maintains an online database to help people find a notary by searching by place without knowing the name. That database can be found by clicking here.
The county auditor, by virtue of the position can also perform some notarial functions as defined in SDCL 18-3-1 and Acknowledgements as defined in SDCL 18-4-2. The auditor’s seal does not contain the word NOTARY so if your document requires a duly commissioned Notary, you may want to double check before having it done here.
There is no fee charged in the auditor’s office for notarial services.
