Become a South Dakota notary public
 
Requirements
To become an SD notary, you must submit a South Dakota notary application, file an oath, and a $5000 
bond.  There is a $25 filing fee as well.  The notary term is for six years.  You must be a U.S. 
citizen to become an SD notary public. The application is extremely short and only wants your name, 
address, if you have ever been a notary before, and when your commission expired, as well as if you 
have ever been convicted of a felony.   Then there is an oath.  The wording for the oath is below.
