Tips For License Applicants With The Atlanta Dds

By Ruthie Livingston


When your drivers license expires, or you need to apply for the first time, you will be required to visit the Department of Drover Services. Here, you will get all the help and information you need regarding your application or renewal. However, there are certain requirements that one needs to be aware of so as to avoid traveling to and from the department more than once. Below are some tips to help you out before you visit the Atlanta dds.

First, know the services available at the local office. This will save you a lot of time. If you require a particular service, check online first to confirm that it is available locally. You can also call to find out if you can make a personal appointment so that you can avoid unnecessary traveling.

Most of these services are charged. Hence, it is important to inquire online about the exact amount. This should be easily available on the department website, and it should be uniform throughout the state. In most cases, you will pay in cash; however, it is important to know whether alternative payment platforms are allowed so that you can avoid carrying cash.

Several documents are also needed from those making the application. The most important is the DDS-1 form, which can be downloaded online, printed, filled and submitted at the department. The school of the applicant should also certify and sign it before being submitted. The department also requires that the parent sign of the two affidavit forms issued in accordance with the training of the applicant.

You are also required to provide documents of identity. This is normally the birth certificate or a copy if the original is not easily available. Those who have passports may also use them. The need for these documents is to prevent aliens or underage individuals from accessing licenses. One must also have the social security card during the application.

Proof of residence is also required. Well, you need to prove that you reside in Atlanta. Otherwise, people from other states can easily come to benefit from services that are meant for the locals. In this case, a bank statement, water, light or gas bill should suffice. When you have all these documents, you should not worry about your application being rejected.

Once you have all these documents, you will undergo a road test. The government does not want any questionable drivers on the roads. This is to ensure public safety. Hence, the officers will take you on the road to evaluate your proficiency and understanding of the driving rules and road signs. The DDS allows people to make appointments for the test.

Know when the offices are opened. You may arrive too early and wait for too long, or too late and miss the opportunity. If you do not like waiting, you should also avoid visiting during lunch hours, as the most officers are normally lunch break during this time. End months and days after holidays are also not ideal.

When you have changed your name, ensure that you have proof. This should be in the form of a legal document. With these simple tips in mind, you should not experience any problems with the DDS.
