Driver's License: A new resident has 90 days to obtain a South Carolina driver's license after establishing residence. During that time, a valid out-of-state license may be turned in to the SC Division of Motor Vehicles and be qualified for a South Carolina license by paying a $12.50 fee. Military personnel may continue using a current driver's license and tags from their home state as long as either is valid.

Tags: New residents of South Carolina must register all vehicles with the Division of Motor Vehicles and have South Carolina tags within 45 days of establishing residence. Registering an automobile requires the following: the odometer reading, completed application for title and registration, tax receipt and proof of liability insurance. If the automobile is currently registered in another state, the current registration certificate and lienholder's complete name and address will be required. If there is no lien a certificate of title is all that is needed. The title fee is $5, and the registration fee is $24 (trucks may be an additional charge), or for those over 65 years of age $20.
