The South Dakota Uniform Application for Securities Industry Registration or Transfer (U-4) is a form used by individuals who wish to register with the South Dakota Division of Securities to become a broker-dealer, investment adviser representative, or both. The form is used for both initial and renewal registrations, and it contains a variety of information about the individual, such as their name, address, education, work experience, and criminal history. The form also includes a questionnaire designed to assess the individual's knowledge of securities laws and regulations. There are two types of South Dakota U-4 forms: the initial registration form and the renewal registration form. Both forms are required for registration and must be completed and submitted to the South Dakota Division of Securities.
