Due to a new Georgia law, all 16- and 17-year-olds must take an approved 30-hour Driver's Ed class and 6 hours of in-car driving lessons to get a driver's license.
Required documents for 16-and 17-year-olds:
• Valid learner’s permit for one year and one day
• Georgia DDS Certificate of Enrollment notarized by the school
• ADAP Certificate (provided by high school upon request)
• Certificate of Completion of a 30-hour Driver’s Ed course at a state-certified driving
school
• A Driving Experience Affidavit must be completed at the DDS affirming the
applicant has a minimum of 40 hours of driving, 6 of which must be at night. Parents
will sign the form at the DDS, so you don’t have to bring it with you.
• Must present valid registration and insurance for vehicle used on road test (not
required to be in applicant’s name)
Required documents for people 18 and older:
• Valid learner’s permit (one year and one day rule does not apply. Applicant may
obtain learner’s permit and Class D license on the same day)
• Must present valid registration and insurance for vehicle used on road test (not
required to be in applicant’s name)
