Electronic Driver's License System

Introduced·3/12/25

South Carolina S0448 establishes an Electronic Driver's License System allowing drivers to present their licenses electronically.

South Carolina S0448 authorizes the Department of Motor Vehicles to create an Electronic Driver's License System. This system will allow drivers to present their licenses electronically, such as on a smartphone, instead of a physical card. Law enforcement and businesses can accept this electronic format as valid identification. The system will also enable officers to verify the authenticity of the presented licenses. Drivers can only display their license electronically and not other device content.
