If you move to Georgia and already hold a driver's license from another state, within how many days must you obtain a Georgia license?

• A. 15 days
• B. 30 days
• C. 60 days
• D. 90 days

Answer: (B)

When you become a resident of Georgia, you’re required to switch to a Georgia driver’s license within 30 days. This means after you establish residency—such as moving here to live, work, or attend school—you should go to a DDS office to transfer your out-of-state license, surrender it, and get a Georgia license. You’ll typically need to bring proof of identity, your social security number, and proof of Georgia residency, and you’ll take a vision test with a possible fee. If your out-of-state license is valid, you can usually transfer without retaking the knowledge or road tests. The key idea is that residency starts the 30-day clock for obtaining the Georgia license.
