What is the South Carolina Driver’s License Replacement Form?


Form DL-49, Affidavit for Lost/Surrendered Driver’s License Beginner’s Permit, or Identification Card, or also referred to as the South Carolina Driver’s License Replacement Form and SC Driver’s License Replacement Form, is a form by the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles. Holders of South Carolina Driver’s License use it to report and replace a driver’s license that was lost, stolen, or destroyed.


 


If you lost or surrendered your driver’s license, you need to report it immediately, as this is central to your driving privileges. Without a driver’s license, you will not be allowed to drive a vehicle. In the event that you chose to drive without a valid South Carolina driver’s license and got caught, failure to present any form of driver’s license or permit to the enforcer will cause you to be subject to penalties and criminal liabilities. You may get fined, jailed, or both.


 


Moreover, reporting a lost driver’s license can protect you from identity theft, as it is possible that another individual would use it to make transactions without your knowledge and consent. If it is used to commit unlawful activities, you may become liable. To avoid identity theft and being involved in illegal activities using your driver’s license, report the situation immediately to the DMV.
