If you are moving and becoming a resident of Georgia, you will need to apply for a Georgia license and register your vehicle there within 30 days of setting up residency to comply with GA state law. The state of Georgia considers you a GA resident if you have a permanent place to live in Georgia and except for infrequent, brief absences, have been in Georgia for 30 days or more.

So to obey state laws in Georgia it would appear that you would need to change over your driver's license and vehicle registration and title in 30 days and thus cannot wait a year. Doing so will also help you to obtain the Georgia auto insurance that you need.

Insurance companies' guidelines differ but typically US insurance companies will require a vehicle to be registered in the United States in order for the car to be insured by them. Once you get your vehicle registered in Georgia, you can get an affordable Atlanta auto insurance quote here.
