- State: South Carolina
Answer:
To obtain a certificate for changing a road name in South Carolina, you should contact your local planning commission. According to South Carolina law (S.C. Code § 6-29-1200), a planning commission must approve and authorize any new street or road name within its jurisdiction. It is illegal to name a street without this approval.
The commission can also change a street name under certain conditions, such as name duplication or to simplify directions. After a public hearing, the commission will issue a certificate for the name change, which must be recorded with the register of deeds or clerk of court. This certificate will then serve as the legal name for the street.
