The lady when you first walk in was very rude to me. I was concerned about my whereabouts of my title because it’s been months and she basically was rushing me to get out of the line.

The wait was long but not the worst. The facility needs more seating. The person I dealt with was very friendly, apologized for the wait and processed me quickly. Not the worst experience I've had with the DMV. That is still at the Beaufort location.

Anyone that has lived in NJ, you will be amazed what the staff at SCDMV can accomplish! I recently had both my drivers license and vehicle plate stolen, separate event. Drivers license took 20 minutes and the plates took 30 minutes,if this was NJ, the time would be either weeks or days. Appreciate what you have!

No. Bring proof of who you are (see website - passport, etc) if you have a license from another state, bring it, proof of residence, etc. If it's your first time getting a license, there is a test, so you may need to schedule that.

How is an accident report submitted?

Mary Sikorski | Aug 22, 2022
stretch mulligan | Sep 5, 2022

I Think That You Must Submit The Accident Report To Your Insurance Company First After Getting The Accident Report From The Reporting Officials ( Police, Hi Way Patrol Or Sheriff's Department ). Then The Insurance Company Takes Over And They Usually Notify You Prior To The Court Dates. When You Appear In Court At That Time They Will Find You Guilty Or Innocent. That Is When The True Accident Information Will Either Help You Or Hurt You. Good Luck 🤞
