Is it 15 dollars to get your license in NC?

I wish... I paid $318 in 2010 to renew my Class A CDL at $15/year (8 year license) with three endorsements at $3/year each, plus $96 for TSA fingerprinting and a background check for my hazmat endorsement. And those prices reflect the cost of a CDL. For non-CDL licenses (of any class), it's $4/year (again, typically an 8 year license), and an additional $1.75/year if you're getting a motorcycle endorsement.
