2. You will be required to submit a completed Application for SC Credential and an affidavit for lost, stolen or surrendered licenses.
3. You must present two valid forms of proper identification along with South Carolina address proof and social security number.
4. If your current CDL is damaged, you must surrender it at the DMV Field Full-Service Office when you apply for a replacement.
