Georgia DDS Centers

With locations in major cities like Atlanta, Savannah, Augusta, and Columbus, as well as smaller cities like Warner Robins and Gainesville, Georgia DDS offices make it easy to access the services you need.

Why Does Georgia Have DDS Instead of DMV Centers?

In Georgia, the Department of Driver Services (DDS) handles driver-related services instead of a traditional Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). This is because Georgia divides responsibilities between different state agencies. The DDS specifically focuses on licensing, driving tests, and driver records, while other tasks typically handled by a DMV, such as vehicle registration and titling, fall under the Georgia Department of Revenue.

Services Offered at Georgia DDS Centers

Learner’s Permit Applications and Knowledge Exams

• Apply for your learner’s permit and take the knowledge exam, which covers Georgia’s road rules and traffic laws.
• Prepare for the exam using the Georgia Driver’s Manual and online practice tests.

Road Test Scheduling and Licensing

• Schedule your road test online or in person at a DDS center.
• Pass the test to upgrade your learner’s permit to a Class D or Class C driver’s license.

Teen Driver Requirements (Joshua’s Law)

Teen drivers under 18 must complete a Joshua’s Law-approved driver education course. Georgia DDS centers provide information and resources to help you meet these requirements.

Driver Training and Education

Access state-approved driving schools for hands-on training and learn defensive driving techniques to ensure safety on the road.

Vehicle Registration and Titling

While the Georgia DDS primarily handles licensing, it also offers information about vehicle registration and title services through partnerships with local county offices.

Georgia Driving Test Tips

Passing your driving test requires preparation and practice:

Practice Maneuvers

Common maneuvers tested include parallel parking, lane changes, turning, and stopping at traffic signals so practice these repeatedly until you’re confident.

Know the Test Route

Each DDS center has unique test routes with varying levels of complexity. Use the test routes app to practice these routes so there are no surprises on exam day.

Prepare Your Vehicle

Your car must meet safety requirements, including working lights, turn signals, and brakes. Bring all required documents, such as proof of insurance and registration.

Arrive Early and Stay Calm

Arriving 15–30 minutes early gives you time to settle in. During the test, focus on staying calm and following all traffic rules.
