Upgrade a Level 2 Provisional License on myNCDMV
North Carolina now makes it easier for teens to move from a Level 2 to a Level 3 Limited Provisional License. Upgrading on myNCDMV is a simple two-step process completed first by a parent or guardian and then by the teen.
Step 1: Parent or Guardian Provides Consent
A parent or guardian must begin the process by completing the following steps:
- Log in to myNCDMV
- Enter their personal information
- Provide consent for their teen to advance from Level 2 to Level 3
Once this step is complete, the teen driver will receive an email letting them know that the first part of the process has been finished.
Step 2: Teen Completes the Upgrade
After receiving the email notification, the teen driver will:
- Log in to myNCDMV
- Enter their personal information
- Submit their payment to complete the upgrade
After this step is complete, the teen driver will receive a temporary driving certificate to use until their new Level 3 Limited Provisional License arrives by mail.
Orders are processed and mailed by the NCDMV and generally arrive in 20 business days. To check the status of your shipment you can reach the NCDMV team by calling (919) 715-7000 or with this online form.
