Renewing Your License
Thanks to technology, renewing your Georgia driver's license can now be practically painless. Discarding a reputation for long lines, Georgia has now made it possible for you to renew your driver's license in only five minutes.
You can renew your license online, by telephone, or by mail, and your new license will be mailed to you within 30 days.
To be eligible to receive this perk, the Department of Driver Services must have a valid photograph, fingerprint, and signature from you on digital file, and you can't have any outstanding suspensions, cancellations, or revocations on your license.
Your mailing address must also be current. If you've moved, you'll need to visit one of the Customer Service Centers to update your address.
Ways to Renew
A renewal application, which will be mailed to the address on file (and cannot be forwarded), contains an identification number that you will use to complete a renewal remotely.
To renew by phone, call the Customer Service Center at (678) 413-8400 or, if you're calling from outside the metro Atlanta area, call (866) 754-3687. You must have your license renewal form handy.
If you choose to, or must, renew in person, expect long lines. Driver's license offices are open Tuesday through Saturday, with Tuesday being the busiest day.
Name and address changes must be made in person.
Cost of Renewal
Major credit cards are accepted to pay for your online, telephone, or mail renewal, and no additional service fees are charged for renewing this way. In fact, you're eligible to receive a five-year discount off the below fees for renewing by these methods instead of in person.
- 5-year renewal: $20
- 10-year renewal: $35
For more on renewing your driver's license, consult the Georgia Department of Driver Services.
Military Personnel
Each state’s motor vehicle agency will have different renewal policies for drivers in the military. Please proceed to our Drivers in the Military page to find out how to handle your license renewal while you are stationed out of state.
