What documents do I need to bring to the DMV to get a new license?

Asked 6 months ago
To obtain a new license at South Carolina DMV, you’ll need to bring a few essential documents. First, make sure to carry your current identification, such as a valid passport or birth certificate, to establish your identity. You must also present your Social Security Card or an official document displaying your Social Security number. Proof of residency in the state, like a utility bill or lease agreement, is required as well. If you have changed your name, supporting documents like a marriage certificate or court order are necessary. Additionally, bring your current out-of-state license if you possess one. To avoid any inconvenience, it’s advisable to review the complete list of acceptable documents on the DMV website before your visit. Application forms and payment for the license fee will also be required.
