If you have a valid driver's license or identification card from another state and permanently move to South Carolina, you must apply for an SC license or ID. You must turn in your out-of-state license or ID when you get one in this state.

You must visit an SCDMV branch and bring all of the following types of documents that prove your identity:

Proof of identity, U.S. citizenship, and date of birth (government-issued birth certificate or valid U.S. passport)

Proof of Social Security Number

Two proofs of current, physical SC address

Proof of legal name change, if applicable

The United States Citizens' Checklist (SCDMV Form MV-93) and International Customers' Checklist (SCDMV Form MV-94) have a complete list of accepted documents for each category above.

In addition to the required documentation, you must take a vision test at the SCDMV and pay all applicable fees. Currently, an eight-year driver's license is $25.

If you move to South Carolina, you have 45 days to transfer your vehicle registration to this state. Before you transfer your title and registration, you must pay any property taxes with your county treasurer.

You cannot receive your new title in the mail until your out-of-state title is cleared through the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System. Once cleared, your new SC title will be mailed to your SC address. You will receive your new registration before this check is complete.
