According to the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) and traffic court information we have read it would appear that normally to get a GA driver's license reinstated one must submit an original certificate of completion of a DDS approved Defensive Driving Course and remit a reinstatement fee which usually runs around $200.

The DDS strongly encourages licensees to contact them directly concerning reinstatement matters. The DDS Call Center Agents have up-to-date information related to the driver’s license status and reinstatement procedures (since requirements/procedures may have changed or be specific to the reason your license was suspended).

Please call the DDS at 678-413-8400 to learn what you must do to reinstate your driver's license. They should be able to inform you if you must re-take the driving test since you are under 21 or will instead need to attend a defensive driving course.
