The Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) is the primary resource for all matters relating to driving and vehicles, offering a streamlined process for obtaining, renewing and replacing a Georgia driving licence. The state offers various licence types, including standard Class C, provisional Class D for teenagers under the Teenage and Adult Driver Responsibility Act (TADRA), motorcycle Class M and different Commercial Driving Licences (CDL) for classes A, B and C. In order to obtain a licence, you must pass a vision test, a knowledge test covering road signs and rules, and a road skills test, which can be taken virtually or in person. The DDS provides online services for fee payments, renewals and replacements. With over eight million registered vehicles, road safety is a critical focus, with major violations such as speeding and drug-driving being addressed. Non-US citizens and foreign drivers must apply for a Georgia licence within thirty days of establishing residency and must adhere to specific documentary and Social Security requirements.
