South Carolina Driver's Ed Eligibility

The beginner's permit (or learner's permit) is your first step toward getting a SC driver's license. You'll need to do this before you begin your Driver's Ed course.

To apply for a South Carolina beginner's permit, you must:

• Be at least 15 years old.
• Pass a vision test and a knowledge test.
• Prove your identity and SC residency.
• Show proof of your insurance.
• Have your parent or guardian with you to sign your application and consent form. (They must also be listed as qualified on the form.)

For more information about applying for your permit, including acceptable forms of required proof, fees, and driving restrictions, see our Drivers Permits in South Carolina page.

DMV.ORG Tip: Ace the written exam!

Take an online practice test before heading to the DMV, and feel entirely prepared to pass the test on your first try.

New South Carolina Resident?

If you move to South Carolina and you have a learner's permit from another state, you can take it to your local DMV office and trade it for a SC beginner's permit. However, you will then need to hold your permit for at least 180 days before you can apply for any other type of South Carolina driver's license. This does not include any time you held your out-of-state permit.

You may have to retake Driver's Ed if you took it in another state. Check with your local DMV office or contact the DMV Call Center at (803) 896-5000 for more information.
