Replace a SC Learners Permit


The process is easy for obtaining a lost or stolen or mutilated drivers permit. Visit any DMV office with:

  • Proper identification.
  • Cash or a check to pay the $2.50 duplicate learners permit fee.
Don't procrastinate in obtaining a replacement permit. You could be ticketed if caught driving without a driving permit, regardless of the reason.

Renew a SC Drivers Permit


Renewing your driving permit requires little effort if it has been expired for less than 180 days. Simply visit any DMV office with proper identification and cash or a check to pay the $2.50 renewal fee.

If, however, your permit has been expired for 180 days or longer you must visit any DMV and:

  1. Present your birth certificate.
  2. Present your Social Security card.
  3. Present proof of SC residency.
  4. Present proof of auto insurance.
  5. Pay the $2.50 learners permit fee.
  6. Pass a vision and written test.
To prepare for the written test you'll need to study the state's drivers manual. You can grab a copy from any DMV office or download from the DMV website.

You'll then want to gauge if you're test-prepared by taking at least one practice permit test. These can be found online and feature questions similar to those found on an actual exam.

Pass the test and you'll receive a learners permit, the first step towards obtaining a SC drivers license.
