S.D. Codified Laws § 36-15-22
Any person who holds a current valid license from another state or foreign country in the practices of cosmetology, nail technology, or esthetics may apply to the commission for a temporary permit to practice cosmetology, nail technology, or esthetics, as applicable. The application shall be accompanied with evidence satisfactory to the commission that the applicant possesses those qualifications required pursuant to §§ 36-15-15 and 36-15-19.2. The application shall be accompanied by the fee required in this chapter. A temporary permit is valid until the date of the next regular scheduled examination in cosmetology, nail technology, or esthetics, as applicable. If the holder of a temporary permit takes the examination at the scheduled time, the commission shall extend the temporary permit until the result of the examination is mailed to the applicant. If an applicant is not excused from the examination by the commission or fails the examination, the temporary permit is invalid and may not be extended or reissued.
