S.D. Admin. R. 20:38:34:01
An applicant licensed in another state or foreign country must be fully licensed by the board before offering to practice or practicing professional services within the state of South Dakota. An applicant for licensure through comity must comply with all application requirements set out in chapter 20:38:29.
The executive director shall request verification of licensure from the registration board in the state where the applicant passed a written examination. If licensure is not current in that state and examination verification cannot be obtained, the applicant shall provide evidence of continuous licensure in another state. If the applicant is licensed in the applicant's state of residence, the executive director shall request verification from that state board.
A verified professional record from NCARB for architects, CLARB for landscape architects, or NCEES for engineers and land surveyors may be considered by the board as evidence of meeting comity requirements and may expedite comity licensure.
