How appointments work
SCDMV says regular and motorcycle skills tests require an appointment from 2 to 4 p.m., and CDL skills tests always require an appointment. Knowledge tests do not require one.

Where to take the driving test in South Carolina
For a regular license in South Carolina you can take the road test at any SCDMV branch or with a third-party tester: SCDMV contracts with companies and governmental subdivisions to give its road tests, and they must be approved by SCDMV first. SCDMV publishes the agency's list of Class D third-party test sites. Check the agency's page before you book a test.
Checked November 4, 2026 against: Regular License Testing; Third-Party Testers. The official page always wins.

Driving test sites: Third-party driving test site (state-certified): 175.

County and city pages list them separately.
