No Permit Yet? No Problem!

We know how difficult it can be to get to the DMV before 4:00 to take the Beginner's Permit test, so we are going to make it more convenient. Students can take their written permit test at 123 Drive! on class days in Bluffton or by appointment. If successful, they can simply take the results anytime within 30 days of the test date to the DMV to have their picture taken and their permit issued.

There is no additional charge to students already enrolled with us. You will still have a small fee at the DMV for the issuance of the permit.

Any new driver in SC (never previously licensed), between the age of 15-17, is required to hold their Beginner's Permit for 181 days before they are eligible to attempt the road test for their license.  Applicants that are 18 or older must hold their permit for a minimum of 30 days before the can attempt the road test for a full  license.
