Apply for a Georgia Driver's License (Class C)

Georgians who are 18 and older may apply for a non-commercial driver’s license (Class C).

If you are at least 18 years old and applying for the first time, you can immediately apply for a Class C license.

If you are under 18, you may be required to participate in the graduated license program for young drivers.

The Class C license is also for drivers new to Georgia who are age 17 and hold a valid Class C equivalent from another state that has not been suspended or revoked.
