## Lose Control/Lose Your License 

A loss of license will occur if a student receives a suspension for more than 10 consecutive days or receives an assignment to an alternative educational setting due to disciplinary action for more than 10 consecutive days. This suspension remains in effect for 12 months or until a Driving Eligibility Certificate is obtained. 

## Restrictions 

For safety reasons, a driver license may be limited or restricted. Examples: 

• A driver may only be permitted to operate a motor vehicle while wearing corrective lenses. 

• A driver who passes the license examination may be issued a driver license restricted to using equipment necessary to safely operate the motor vehicle. 

If your license is restricted, you must only drive within the limits of the restriction; otherwise you are considered to be driving without a license. 

## Required Documents 

The Division of Motor Vehicles may copy the documents presented or hold the documents for a brief period of time to verify authenticity. Any document reflecting alteration will not be accepted. 

Requirements are based on North Carolina General Statutes 20-7 and 20-11 and 6 CFR Part 37 of the Federal Register. 

If you are applying for a driver license, a learner’s permit or an ID card for the first time in North Carolina, you will need to provide proof of your full name and date of birth, your NC residence address, proof of your Social Security number (SSN) or documentation indicating your legal presence in the U.S. You will need to provide proof of vehicle liability insurance when applying for a driver license. 

A North Carolina driver license, learner permit or ID card that includes the notation “Not for Federal Identification” is a valid state-issued driver license, learner’s permit, or ID card. 

Beginning Oct. 1, 2021, a driver license, learner permit or ID Card with “Not for Federal Identification” means you will need to provide additional documentation to fly on a commercial airline and enter any federal facility, military base and nuclear power plant that requires identification. You much contact the facility that you are visiting to determine what additional identification is required. 

## Applicants under Age 18 Applying for a Driver License or Learner Permit: 

If you are under age 18, you must provide either a Driving Eligibility Certificate, proof of graduation from high school, or submit a GED. You must also provide proof of completion of a driver education course which consists of 30 hours of classroom instruction and 6 hours behind wheel instruction.
