In order to apply for the first time issuance of a
North Carolina Learner's Permit or Driver's License you will need to
gather documents from the following categories:
1. Proof of Residency:
|
Proof of residency includes providing your name and current address.
You will need one document from this category. A few examples of
documents you can use to prove your residency are:
- Any
document issued by the State of North Carolina or any of its political
subdivisions (county, city, tax district, etc.) or by the federal
government;
- An apartment lease, housing contract, or mortgage statement;
- A utility bill (ie. power bill, cable bill, water bill, etc.);
- Matricula Consular issued by the Mexican consulate.
|
2. Proof of Age & Identity:
Proof of age & identity includes providing your full name, social
security number, and date of birth. You will need a total of two
documents from this category, one of which must show your date of
birth. You must provide proof of your social security number. If you
have just recently moved to North Carolina and are applying for your
original North Carolina driver's license your valid, unexpired
"out-of-state" driver's license with photo counts as one form of
identification.
You
may not use two documents from the same section. For instance, using a
report card and school transcript would not qualify as two forms of
identification because they both come from the "School Records"
section.
Acceptable Proof of Identity Documents:
- Valid,
unexpired Driver License or State-Issued Identification Card from
another state, Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory, or a Canadian province.
- Certified or original birth certificate.
