to CHASE SC 9/18/2003
I am writing you in response to your recent email to the
department regarding the policies for applying for a beginner's permit and
driver's license if you are a home schooled student.
To obtain a beginner's permit
* You must be at least 15 years old.
* You must bring your birth certificate,
social security card, proof of residency and insurance information.
Proof of residency for a student that is home
schooled can be in the form the parents' income tax statement listing the
student as a dependent.
* If you are under 18 years of age, you must bring your parent or legal guardian
with you to sign your application.
* You must pass the vision and knowledge tests.
If you are 15 years old and have held a beginner's permit for
at least 180 days, you are eligible for a conditional license.
To get a Conditional License:
* Bring your parent or legal guardian with you to sign your
application.
* Bring your birth certificate, social security card, proof of residency and
insurance information.
* Submit Form PDLA that certifies you have:
* Completed a driver's education course
* Had satisfactory school attendance
* Practiced driving with your licensed parent or guardian for 40 hours,
including 10 hours of driving practice at night.
* You must pass the vision and road skills tests.
If student is home schooled, in lieu of the Form
PDLA, a letter from the SC Home School Association stating that the
student is home schooled will suffice. Parent will have to sign a statement
regarding satisfactory school attendance. (New
Beginnings HSA mandates the parent who is the teacher and actual school use and
complete form PDLA.) - DMV
may only look at your membership card. They do not have any permission to
copy any NBHSA membership
paperwork and are not allowed to maintain said information in any file or
database.
If you are 16 years old and have held your beginner's permit
for at least 180 days or have a conditional license, you are eligible for a
special restricted license.
To get a Special Restricted License:
* To get a special restricted driver's license, you must bring
your parent or legal guardian with you to sign your application.
* You must bring your birth certificate, social security card, proof of
residency and insurance information.
* You must submit Form PDLA that certifies you have:
* Completed a driver's education course
* Had satisfactory school attendance
* Practiced driving with your licensed parent or guardian for 40 hours,
including 10 hours of driving practice at night.

All DMV branch offices
are aware of these requirements and of the requirements for a home schooled
student.
