Chapter 1: New Residents
A new resident has 60 days after establishing residence to obtain a North Carolina license or learner permit.
- You must be at least 15 years of age, and if under age 18 must have completed an approved driver education course.
- Drivers ages 16 or 17 who are new residents of North Carolina and hold a valid unrestricted driver license from a state that does not require driver education may be issued a temporary driver permit. This permit will allow them to drive until the driver education course required for driver licensing in North Carolina is completed.
A new resident, 18 years or older, applying for a Class C license is required to take the:
- Knowledge test (must be completed by 4:30pm);
- Vision test;
- Traffic signs recognition test; and
- Driving skills test (if the examiner deems necessary).
No driving skills test will be initiated after 4:00pm.
