Many Georgia citizens may be eligible to renew their valid
drivers license or Georgia Identification card over the Internet, by
mail or by telephone.
- If you are eligible, you will receive a Renewal Application by mail
from the DDS sixty days before your driver's license expiration date.
To be qualified, the DDS must have a valid photo, fingerprint and
signature saved on file digitally, and there can be no outstanding
cancellations, suspensions or revocations on your driving record.
- The Renewal Application will be mailed to your last known
mailing address on file with the DDS. If you have moved, you must visit
a Customer Service Center within 60 days to update your mailing
address. Applications will not be forwarded to new addresses by the
U.S. Postal Service. The DDS cannot issue a replacement for lost
applications.
- Changes, such as name changes, can only be made in person at a Customer Service Center.
- The Renewal Application will have an individualized Resident
Identification Number (RIN) that the customer must use along with the
month and day of your last exam date from the current license or ID
card. This number allows us to confirm identity.
- After receiving the Renewal Application, you may follow the instructions to renew online, by mail or by telephone.
- American Express, Discover, Master Card and Visa are acceptable forms of payment.
- The cost of renewing a driver's license is $20 for 5 years and $35 for 10 years. The cost of
renewing an identification card is also $20 for 5 years and $35 for 10 years. There is no service fee
charged for choosing to renew online, by mail or by telephone.
NOTE: A five dollar discount is available to motorists
who choose to renew their five or ten-year licenses through the mail,
the Internet or over the telephone.
- A successful transaction takes less than five minutes, and your replacement license will be mailed to you in about thirty days.
