Georgia adult first license
First Georgia driver license for adults
A first-time Georgia driver age 18 or older can apply directly for a Class C driver license or first obtain a Class CP instructional permit for practice. The direct route still requires the documentation, knowledge exam, road test and supervised-driving certification.
- 18+Class C age
- 40 / 6supervised / night hours
- $328-year Class C license
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.
