Default Help!

I got an SSN now so how do I get my license?
do I have to take a 30 hour road safety course in Savannah?

Do I fail if I get my car sideways during the test ?)

well, you may want to check and see if you have to do everything from scratch. If thats the case you'd have to take a written and driven test over at the DMV on Eisenhower Dr.

It actually depends on if you are in control of the car or not. If you can keep the coffee on the dash from spilling, you win.

This is from the DMV website


Driving Privileges for Foreigners

If you're a noncitizen visiting Georgia and have a valid driver's license issued by your home country, you may legally drive in the state.

However, if you become a Georgia resident, you must apply for a state driver's license. The Department of Driver Services (DDS) fully outlines the steps.

Basically, you'll need to pass the written and road tests, and provide acceptable proof of your identification, Georgia residency, and legal status in regards to being in the United States. Depending on the situation, you may also need to provide your Social Security number.

If you're a noncitizen of the country, you'll have to provide proof of legal presence to be in the United States. Your license will only be valid for five years or until your immigration document expires, whichever comes first. However, if your document doesn't have an expiration date, your license will only be good for one year.

Be sure to have your immigration document with you whenever conducting driver license-related transactions, such as renewing or replacing your license.

Oh that sucks to have to take the written test. Sometime there is a down period between the written test and the road test!
