Georgia driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants. https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/georgia/","dateModified":"2026-06-28","description":"Georgia driver license and state ID: the Georgia DDS document list, the SSN-or-SSA-letter rule and fees. Lawful status is required.","disclaimer":"General information, not legal advice. MigrantUSA is an independent publisher and is not a law firm. Always verify current details directly with the relevant agency before acting.","faqs":[{"answer":"Yes, with lawful status. Georgia law does not allow a non-citizen to drive without lawful status, so there is no program for undocumented residents. Lawfully present non-citizens — green-card holders, students who establish Georgia residency, people working temporarily in Georgia, and their dependents — can get a ‘LIMITED-TERM’ license or ID.","question":"Can an immigrant get a Georgia driver license or ID card?"},{"answer":"Georgia prints ‘LIMITED-TERM’ on the driver license or ID card of a non-citizen who proves lawful presence. It is valid for your approved length of stay, up to a maximum of five years, and grants the same privileges as a regular Georgia card (banking, car rental, shopping). An expired LIMITED-TERM card does not mean a person is in the country illegally.","question":"What is a ‘LIMITED-TERM’ Georgia license?"},{"answer":"You must provide either a Social Security number or a Certification of Social Security Denial Status. If you are not eligible for an SSN, you complete the Certification of Social Security Denial Status form (DDS-351), available at the Customer Service Centers. Non-citizens present their immigration documents in person each time they apply.","question":"What if I am not eligible for a Social Security number?"},{"answer":"A regular driver license is $32 for an 8-year term, and a Georgia ID card is $32 for an 8-year term. A learner’s permit is $10. A non-citizen who establishes residency in Georgia must obtain a Georgia license within 30 days.","question":"How much does a Georgia driver license or ID card cost?"}],"generated":"2026-06-28","isBasedOn":"https://dds.georgia.gov/information-non-us-citizens","language":"en","license":"https://migrantusa.com/terms/","name":"Georgia driver license + state ID — without SSN options for immigrants","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"MigrantUSA","url":"https://migrantusa.com/"},"source_urls":["https://dds.georgia.gov/information-non-us-citizens","https://dds.georgia.gov/partners/limited-term-dlids","https://dds.georgia.gov/fees-and-terms"],"state":"Georgia","type":"dmv-state","url":"https://migrantusa.com/dmv/state-id-by-state/georgia/"}
