What you need to have...
In order to begin classes to obtain the Concealed Weapons Permit you'll need to be a legal and permanent resident of the state of South Carolina.

Picture identification - a valid South Carolina driver's license; or
an official photographic identification card issued by the Department of Revenue, a federal or state law enforcement agency, an agency of the United States Department of Defense, or United States Department of State.

Proof of residence meaning a person’s current address on the original or certified copy of:
(a) a valid South Carolina driver’s license;
(b) an official identification card issued by the Department of Revenue, a federal or state law enforcement agency, an agency of the United States Department of Defense, or United States Department of State;
(c) a voter registration card; or
(d) another document that SLED may determine that fulfills this requirement.

You are also required to bring your own weapon and ammunition appropriate for the weapon you will be using.

If you can provide these items then the next step needed is TRAINING!

In receiving a license to carry a concealed weapon for lawful self-defense, you are undertaking a great responsibility. A license to carry a concealed weapon is not a license to use it.

I am sure you share my hope that you will never find it necessary to use a weapon in self-defense. If you do, the law will protect you only if you have acted within the law. Those who are choosing to arm themselves with weapons should, therefore, be armed with the most indispensable weapon of all; knowledge.

We are providing this information to you as a service in pursuit of that goal. Only you can provide the wisdom, restraint, and good judgment that the law demands of those who possess the ability to take another human life.
