Driver's Licenses, Learner's Permits, and ID Cards

An instructional permit, also known as a learner’s permit, is for Georgia teens preparing to get their full driver’s license.

Once you meet certain requirements, you can apply for a provisional driver’s license at age 16.

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

You must renew your driver’s license every 8 years.

If you are an existing Georgia driver and change your address within Georgia, you have 60 days to update your license.

New to Georgia? You must apply for a Georgia driver's license within 30 days of becoming a resident.

A State Identification Card is a valid form of photo ID. Any Georgian old enough to sign their name or make a mark indicating their legal signature can apply.
