First Georgia driver's license for adults

Step 1: obtain the Class CP learner permit

Submit the online form, bring the adult document package, pass vision plus 20-question Road Rules and 20-question Road Signs tests, and pay the permit fee.

Step 2: complete 40 supervised hours including 6 at night

DDS requires the age-18+ road-test applicant to sign an affidavit confirming this experience.

Step 3: schedule the road test

Walk-ins are not accepted for the road skills exam; choose an appointment through DDS Online Services.

Step 4: arrive with the qualified adult and test vehicle

The adult must be a licensed driver age 21+; bring registration and insurance and ensure the vehicle passes the DDS safety check.

Step 5: pass the road test for Class C

The current regular non-commercial Class C license is $32 for eight years under the DDS fee schedule.

Adults have two first-license options

Georgia's Driver's Manual says a first-time applicant age 18 or older can immediately apply for a Class C license or obtain a Class CP permit first to gain supervised driving experience.

The direct Class C route still includes both tests

A never-licensed adult applying directly for Class C must satisfy the document requirements and successfully complete the knowledge and road-test examinations.

Certify 40 supervised hours including 6 at night

Georgia requires the first-time adult applicant to sign an affidavit affirming at least 40 hours of supervised road driving, including 6 hours at night. The regular Class C license is currently $32 for eight years.
