If you are on active duty outside South Carolina, you and your dependents can renew your South Carolina driver license online or by mail instead of coming back to the state. The mail renewal fee is $25.
Renew online through the SCDMV Online Transaction webpage. To renew by mail, send the SCDMV Application for Beginner’s Permit, Driver’s License, or ID Card with the address you want the license mailed to, a current color photograph from the top of your head to your shoulders with no face or head covering, orders showing continuous active duty outside South Carolina, and a $25 check made out to the SCDMV, to SCDMV, Alternative Media, PO Box 1498, Blythewood SC 29016-0035.
The completed application, a current color photograph, military orders showing continuous active duty outside South Carolina, and a $25 check. Dependents also have to meet the state vision test requirements.
