Do USA States have reciprocal agreements for learner drivers' permits?
Do states have any kind of reciprocal agreement for drivers (learner's) permits?
If a child has a learner's permit issued in one state (i.e. Virginia), can that child legally drive in a second state (i.e. South Carolina)?
My specifics: we're taking a family vacation to Myrtle Beach, SC from Stafford, Virginia. My son has a Virginia Learner's Permit. Will he be able (legally allowed) to drive my car in SC?
Best Answer
This will vary from state to state. Given Myrtle Beach location you should be concerned about 2 states (North and South Carolina).
Specifically for North Carolina he can definitely do it.
A learners permit from another state is valid in North Carolina, but only if the driver is age sixteen or older. The International Drivers License is NOT recognized in North Carolina and cannot be used as a drivers license.
Information on South Carolina is a bit more difficult to find but as far as I can tell South Carolina doesn't recognize out of state Learner's permits as valid to drive in the state.

Can you drive anywhere in the US with a learners permit?
Unfortunately, a lot of states do not allow your teen to drive with their out of state learner's permit. One of the big reasons for this is due to fact that driving laws vary state by state. So while driving laws are one way in one state, they may be very different in another.How to drive in USA - 6 easy steps USA NEWS TODAY
