You can apply for a beginner’s permit at age 15 in South Carolina, after passing a vision and knowledge test at the DMV.
No, a class is not required to obtain your permit — but completing a driver's education course is strongly recommended to prepare for the test and required later for licensing if you're under 17.
Yes, you can! We are now proud to offer all DMV testing at our classroom!
You must be at least 16 and have held your beginner’s permit for at least 180 days. You’ll also need to complete a certified driver’s ed course and behind-the-wheel training if you're under 17.
Bring your valid permit, proof of completed driver’s education (if applicable), your supervized driving log, and a legal guardian (if under 18). A road-ready vehicle with proof of insurance is also required — or you can use one of ours!
Don’t worry — many students need more than one try. We’ll review your results, provide feedback, and help you schedule a retest when you’re ready.
