1. Insurance First
   • If you own a car, you need to purchase car insurance.
   • If you don’t own a car, you can:
     • Buy a non-owners insurance policy,
     • Get added to a friend or family member’s insurance, or
     • Sign a waiver at the DMV (this limits you to rental or company vehicles only).
2. Documents You’ll Need at the DMV:
   • Proof of legal presence: Valid passport, I-94, I-20 or DS-2019, and visa.
   • Proof of NC residency: A letter from your school’s Registrar with your NC address works.
   • Social Security card: If you don’t have one, your legal documents will cover this.
   • Proof of insurance (or waiver if applicable).
   • Application fee: $4 per year (license lasts 5 or 8 years or until your legal stay ends). Cash or check only.
3. Tests You’ll Take:
   • Vision
   • Traffic signs
   • Driving knowledge
   • Road test (bring your own car or rent one)
