Q) Hi, I’m moving to Decatur from out of state. I need to transfer my drivers license and apply for new tags. Can I make an appt to come into the office and do this? What information do I need to bring with me. Thanks so much, Vicky.

A) Welcome to Decatur! Vicky.

Yes, you can make an appointment to come into the office to transfer your driver’s license and apply for new tags. You can make an appointment online or by calling the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) at 1-800-468-4453.

Here is the information you will need to bring with you to your appointment:

• Your current driver’s license from your previous state
• Proof of your identity, such as a birth certificate or passport
• Proof of your residency in Georgia, such as a utility bill or lease agreement
• Proof of insurance
• The $25 application fee

You may also need to provide additional documentation, depending on your circumstances. For example, if you are a new resident of Georgia, you may need to provide proof of your Social Security number.

Once you have all of the required documentation, you can go to your appointment and transfer your driver’s license and apply for new tags. The process should take about 30 minutes.

Here are the steps on how to transfer your driver’s license and apply for new tags in Georgia:

1. Make an appointment with the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS).
2. Gather the required documentation.
3. Go to your appointment and present your documentation to the DDS employee.
4. Pay the application fee.
5. Take the vision test and written test.
6. Take a driving test if required.
7. Receive your new driver’s license and tags.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know if you have any other questions.
