just as if they had never had a
drivers license.
A total of 450,000 persons had
obtained the new licenses through
the week ending April 15, the
Highway Department revealed. As
of that date, 28 per cent of the
licenses issued were metal and 72
uer cent were paper.
In order to avoid delays in re
newing their drivers licenses, all
motorists are urged by the depart
ment to use over-the-counter serv
ice at their local licensing offices.
Those desiring to obtain paper lic
enses must only fill out the re
newal applications and present
them, along with their current
drivers licenses, to be issued a new
license immediately at any office.
Applicants for metal licenses must
also complete the regular appli
cation form from which a paper
license form is prepared. The ap
plicant then signs this form, and
it is sent to Columbia for produc
tion of the metal license. State
law requires that all drivers lic
enses, including those made of
metal, include the drivers’ signa
ture. Metal licenses are produced
in Columbia only, and are then de
livered to the license holder by
mail.
