Keep reading to learn the basic requirements and what you need to know to go from permit holder to full-fledged license holder!
Requirements For Obtaining Your Drivers License
Before you can acquire your license, there are a few requirements you must complete. If you are under 18 years of age, you need to follow a graduated drivers license program to acquire your license. The first stage is your instructional permit; the second is a provisional/intermediate license and lastly is the full driver’s license! The requirements for the provisional/intermediate license are as follows.
- Have held your Georgia instructional permit for at least one year.
- Meet the minimum age requirement of 16 years of age. You will need to be 17 if you have not completed an approved Driver’s Ed course.
- Completed at least 40 hours of supervised driving with your instructional permit. Six of these hours must be driven at night.
- Completed an Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program.
- Present necessary documentation including application, proof of identity, Social Security number, proof of residency, Certificate of Attendance and confirmation of your supervised driving. A parent, guardian or Driver’s Ed Instructor must be present.

If you are moving up from your provisional/intermediate license to a full unrestricted license the requirements are:
- Being at least 18 years of age.
- You have not received any major traffic violations in the last year.
- Present necessary documentation including proof of identity, Social Security number, and proof of your Georgia residency.
- Pay a fee of $32.
- Note: Individuals who are 18 years of age do not need to acquire a permit or complete the licensing program. All you need to do is pass a vision exam, the written permit test, and the driving skill test.
