Originally issued with C suffix. Appears to have progressed to A suffix after 99999 C.

Dealer plates always use the 77 prefix. Truck Dealer plates use the 88 prefix, but those plates are more rare.
Upon reaching 77 9999, the series rolled over to 77 A001.

New base, flat
Motorcycle Handicapped - D/P 224 As with standard Handicapped plates, this is flat, red letters, on the 2000 base. Looks just like standard Handicapped plates, just M/C sized.

Specialty plates on the current base all use the same format, with a sticker at left to designate the cause.

Plain white like the purple heart, with "South Dakota" in blue at the top, number in red, "Bronze Star" in bronze at the bottom. It has a picture of the Bronze star medal to the left of the serial number.
There is also a "Bronze Star With Valor" plate. Same style as the Bronze Star plate, but with the different slogan. High: F00006 2014-01-24 Keith Dickson

These plates use a huge font for their serials, larger than any other currently in use in the United States.

Similar to the specialty and Veteran plate but has a gold star with wreath.

Unique design, not like current or previous base.

Branch of service indicated at left. All branches share a common serial range. Veteran plates are relatively new and, like the generic specialty plate and many non-passenger types, use a modified version of the 2006 passenger base, with Mt. Rushmore shrunk to the bottom of the plate rather than the background. Serial format: 1234A.
