Customer Service Centers (CSCs)
Georgia's CSCs provide in-person services for various driver and vehicle-related transactions. Key services include:
- Driver's License and ID Services: Apply for, renew, or replace standard, commercial (CDL), and motorcycle licenses, as well as state-issued ID cards.
- Testing Services: Schedule and take knowledge, vision, and road skills tests for various license classes.

Please note that not all CSCs offer the same services. It's advisable to check the specific services available at your preferred location before visiting. Additionally, road tests are not offered at all locations, so scheduling in advance is recommended.
Self-Service Kiosks
For added convenience, Georgia DDS has installed self-service kiosks in select CSCs and grocery stores. These kiosks allow you to:
- Renew Vehicle Registrations: Quickly renew your vehicle registration and print your decal on the spot.
- Print Duplicate Registrations: Obtain a copy of your vehicle registration if the original is lost or damaged.
Kiosks located in grocery stores, such as Kroger, are typically available during store hours, often extending beyond standard DDS operating times, providing flexibility for customers.
