Georgia Teen Driver, Part 2:Obtaining Your Provisional Driver’s License
After you’ve held your Class CP Instructional Permit for one year and a day, you can apply for your Class D Provisional Driver’s License as long as you have not had any major traffic violations that resulted in the suspension of your permit.
JOSHUA’S LAW – STATE OF GEORGIA
If you are under the age of 17, you must satisfy Georgia’s Joshua Law which requires driver’s training to be completed. Joshua’s Law driver’s training is a combination of:
behind-the wheel driving experience.
Joshua’s Law requirements can be met through four different combinations of either:
DDS approved school classroom instruction –OR– DDS approved virtual classroom instruction, AND
[ 6 hours DDS approved school behind-the-wheel AND 40 hours of supervised driving with a parent or guardian ] –OR– Completion of the Parent-Teen Driving Guide
The following chart shows the four combinations that will satisfy Georgia’s Joshua’s Law:
The Parent-Teen Driving Guide is a cost-effective option for many families that can save the hundreds of dollars for behind-the-wheel training. However, it is time-consuming and requires dedication by both the parent and the teen to SATISFACTORILY complete all the exercises in the guide. If the teen does NOT receive a satisfactory mark on an exercise, then it must be repeated until it can be marked as satisfied. A Provisional Driver’s License will NOT be issued unless the Driving Guide has been thoroughly completed and ALL exercises are marked with a satisfactory grade.

Before heading out to your local DDS, it is a good idea to make an appointment for the Road Skills Test. Without a reservation, you will often wait longer and be worked in between those who have appointments, and there will be no guarantee that you will even be served on a particular day. Reservations are made by calling a centralized reservation line at 678-413-8400 and then select Option 4. If outside of metro Atlanta, you can call 866-754-3687 and select Option 4. The reservation lines are open from 7am until 5:15pm Monday through Friday. Please have your Class CP Instructional Permit number available when calling to make an appointment. For more information on making appointments for the Road Skills Test, see the Georgia DDS website.
Before heading out to the DDS for your appointment, ensure that you have gathered together the following documentation (all documents must be in English):
Documentation proving your identity, address, social security number, and US Citizenship or proof of lawful presence. See the DDS website for more information on the documents that will be required.
Your Class CP Instructional Permit (Driver’s Permit) – you will be required to surrender this when you get your Class D Provisional Driver’s License.
Certificate of Attendance (DS-1) dated within the last 30 days –OR– High School Diploma –OR– GED.
If the Parent-Teen Driving Guide was used to satisfy Joshua’s Law: the session checklists (all marked satisfactory), signed 40-hour Driving Log, and the Parent/Teen Driving Agreement.
Insurance card covering the vehicle to be used in the Road Skills Test.
Current (unexpired) tabs/license plate on vehicle.
