Licensing is not a formality. It is how Georgia checks instructors, training cars and course content. If a school is not licensed, its lessons may not count toward a license or an insurance discount.
In Georgia, driving schools are licensed through the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS).
- Search Georgia’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- Teens 16 and 17 (Joshua's Law): 30 hours of classroom or DDS-approved online driver education, on a DDS-prescribed certificate. (source)
- Plus 6 hours behind the wheel, which a simulator cannot replace. (source)
- Defensive driving: a 6-hour classroom course at a DDS-certified clinic. DDS does not accept online driver improvement certificates for license purposes. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) before you enroll.
