Teen Driver Appointments in North Carolina

NC uses a graduated licensing system. Each step is a separate DMV appointment.

Permits (Level 1 Limited Learner) ›
For first-time teen drivers (usually 15+). This visit covers the knowledge test, traffic signs test, and a vision screening. Also used to replace or correct an existing permit.

Bring: Birth certificate or passport, proof of Social Security, two NC residency proofs, Driver Education Completion Certificate, and a parent/guardian for consent.
Teen Driver Level 1 (Learner Stage) ›
For teens who already have a Level 1 permit and are in the 12-month learner stage. Use this to replace a lost permit, update personal info, or fix an error.

No road test — administrative only.
Teen Driver Level 2 (Upgrade: Road Test) ›
Move from Level 1 to the Limited Provisional License.

Before booking, you must:
