STATE CHECKLIST

Before your appointment.

Georgia allows a Class C instructional permit at age 15 after vision and knowledge testing; a parent, guardian, or responsible adult signs for a minor.

A CP permit holder may drive only with a licensed, fit companion at least 21 seated beside the driver.

For a teen moving toward a Class D license, DDS materials describe 40 supervised hours, including six at night, alongside driver-education requirements.

Permit eligibility, documents, fees, and appointment details can change. Confirm those details with Georgia Department of Driver Services before you go.
