The South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles announced Thursday a more convenient way for residents to confirm if the documents needed to order and buy a REAL ID driver's license are on file with the agency.

With the agency's newly designed mobile-first website, customers can login and learn if they may be eligible for ordering a REAL ID license online when the cards become available in 2018.
"This eliminates the need to call, wait on hold, and confirm that all of the needed documents are on file for you to get a REAL ID," said executive director Kevin Shwedo. "Customers can now access this information throughout all hours of the day, not just during normal business hours."
All of the following must be true for a person to be eligible to buy a REAL ID license online next year:
- Required documents are on file with the SCDMV
- Driving privileges are in good standing
- Have a regular (Class D, E, F, M, or any combination of the four) license
If the required documents are not on file and a person is interested in changing their current SC license to a REAL ID, a person must bring the following documents to an SCDMV branch now:
- Proof of Identity (Birth certificate or valid US Passport)
- Proof of Social Security Number
- Two Proofs of Current, Physical SC Address
- Proof of All Legal Name Changes
