North Carolina Practice Licensing Process

What fee does NCDMV charge for a duplicate driver license?

  1. A.
    $25.50
  2. B.
    $83.50
  3. C.
    $6.50
  4. D.
    $16.75 Correct
The Why

The answer is "$16.75"

A duplicate driver license costs $16.75. Drivers who reach for $25.50 are pulling from the Learner Permit and Level 1/2 lines that sit a few rows above Duplicate in the same Schedule of Fees.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

A. $25.50

$25.50 is the Learner Permit fee, not the duplicate license fee. Reader lands on the Learner Permit row a few lines above Duplicate in the same table and copies it over.

B. $83.50

$83.50 is the non-alcohol restoration fee, not the duplicate charge. This answer confuses the restoration and driver improvement clinic figures, both $83.50, with the flat duplicate charge.

C. $6.50

That is the per-year Class C license fee, not the flat duplicate charge. Test-taker scans the fee schedule and grabs the smallest listed number as a safe default guess.
