IMPORTANT MESSAGE
The Department of Driver Services (DDS) Board of Directors would like to remind our customers that driving in Georgia is a privilege that carries many responsibilities. Please strive to become a safe and dependable driver to ensure that this privilege will not be lost.
This manual has two main purposes: (1) To help you qualify for a Georgia driver's license and (2) to help you become a safer driver. The majority of customers we service will be applicants for regular passenger vehicles, pickup trucks or vans (Class C). This guide is designed to provide you with the information to obtain and keep this type of license. Other manuals are available for commercial drivers and motorcycle operators.
The information contained in this handbook is not intended to be an official legal reference to the Georgia traffic laws. It is intended only to explain, in everyday language, those laws, driving practices, and procedures that you will use most often. It should be noted that the material in this manual is subject to change to comply with amended State and Federal legislation. The department's primary statutory responsibilities are set forth in Title 40 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.).
For current information concerning licensing requirements or locations, visit the DDS website at dds., call our customer service numbers, (678) 413-8400, (678) 413-8500, (678) 413-8600, or toll-free 866-754-3687 if calling from outside the metro Atlanta area, or follow DDS on Facebook .

My Fellow Georgians,
As Governor, I would like to challenge Georgia motorists to understand the rules of the road and practice safe driving habits. If all drivers and their passengers would fasten seat belts, refrain from driving under the influence, texting while driving and obey the speed limit, fatalities on Georgia's roads would be greatly reduced.
I encourage parents to assist teens in becoming safe drivers by helping them study the traffic laws and safety rules included in this manual. This time spent with your child will help them develop a solid foundation of good driving habits.
As you work with the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS), you should know that I have challenged the department to issue driver's licenses and identification cards in an efficient and friendly manner. Because your time is valuable, DDS has adopted process improvements for more efficient customer service delivery. Employees will strive to meet your needs in a more efficient way.
Thank you for helping to make Georgia's roads and highways a safer place to travel.
Sincerely,
Gov. Nathan Deal
