SC DMV offers drivers with suspended licenses ‘Amnesty’
SCDMV's Amnesty Week runs from March 7-11, 2022
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WOLO) — If you have a suspended driver’s license, this could be your lucky week. This week is the Department of Motor Vehicle’s ‘Amnesty Week ‘for those who have suspended licenses. The South Carolina DMV says the program gives drivers who qualify the chance to get back on the road by having their licenses renewed earlier than their original suspension or have it cleared altogether.
The offer is available only during Amnesty Week, which runs from March 7, to March 11 2022. The Department says they will actively reach out to eligible drives who they think could benefit from the program.
The #SCDMV will hold the 2022 Driver Suspension Eligibility Week (DSEW) statewide for drivers with licenses suspended for specific reasons on March 7-11.
For eligibility questions, customers can call the Contact Center at 803-896-5000.
