Georgia offers both traditional and virtual non-commercial road tests. In either case, schedule first and verify the vehicle and accompanying-adult rules before arriving.

  • Appointmentrequired
  • 75%traditional pass score
  • Traditional / virtualtwo formats

Traditional test: examiner in passenger seat

DDS scores required driving tasks and requires at least 75% to pass.

Virtual test: remote examiner + dual-facing camera

A licensed adult age 21+ rides in the vehicle and the hands-free device/camera setup connects to the DDS examiner.

Vehicle must be registered, insured and safe

DDS inspects the vehicle; expired plates, missing insurance or unsafe conditions can stop the test.

Adult applicants also need supervised experience

DDS's age-18+ road-test instructions require a valid Georgia non-commercial learner permit and an affidavit certifying 40 supervised hours including 6 at night.

After a failed road test: the next day, then seven days

After a first failed Class C or D road test you can test again the next day; after a second or later failure, DDS asks you to wait seven days before the next attempt. DDS can set a longer wait in some cases, so check its road-test page before you book again.

Schedule before you go

Walk-ins are not accepted for the behind-the-wheel automobile test. Complete the online License/ID/Permit Form and use DDS Online Services to reserve the road test.
