Bring qualifying identity and citizenship/lawful-presence documents
DDS publishes separate accepted-document routes for U.S. citizens and non-U.S. citizens.
Document all legal name changes when needed
Marriage, divorce, court and other certified name-change documents may be necessary to connect your current name to the identity document.
Provide the full SSN on the required online form
If electronic verification fails, DDS lists acceptable SSN documents to resolve the issue.
Bring two Georgia-residency proofs
The documents must generally be from separate sources/accounts and show the current residential address; P.O. boxes do not prove residency.
Under 18: add proof of school enrollment
Use a qualifying DDS-1, transcript, progress/grade report, school ID or other accepted school-issued record.
Keep sensitive identifiers with DDS
Road to Permit does not need your SSN, permit number, passport number or immigration-document number.
