Thomaston Georgia Online Driver Education and Thomaston Georgia Licensing Procedures
Congratulations on starting the process of applying for your Thomaston Georgia learner's permit or first Thomaston Georgia driver license. Thomaston Georgia has a graduated driver license program for Thomaston Georgia drivers ages 15-18, and there are a few things to keep in mind to make sure that applying for your Thomaston Georgia driving license goes as smoothly as possible. The amount of information isn't overwhelming, but there are a few pitfalls you'll want to avoid. That's where this short guide comes in.
Thomaston Georgia Instructional Permit or Thomaston Georgia Learner Permit
You can finally apply for a Thomaston Georgia instructional permit, otherwise known as a Thomaston Georgia learner's permit, once you turn 15. In order to apply for your Thomaston Georgia learner's permit, you'll need to make an appointment (walk-in only at any customer service center) and then bring the following:
- A consent form signed by a parent or guardian
- Any out-of-state license
- The necessary identification
- And don't forget, proof of residential address
- Proof of social security card
- The $10 permit fee
- And finally, a Thomaston Georgia DDS Certificate of attendance
At the DMV, you'll present all of these materials and then take a few tests. Two of these will test your knowledge of traffic laws and road signs, respectively. The third will be a vision test.
Make sense? If you manage to get through all of this, then congratulations! You just earned your Thomaston Georgia learner permit, which is valid for 24 months. However, you may only drive with a licensed driver of at least 21 years of age in the front passenger seat. But, after you've had your Thomaston Georgia learner's permit for one year, you're ready to graduate to a Thomaston Georgia intermediate license!
Your First Thomaston Georgia Driver's License
In order to apply for your first Thomaston Georgia driver's license (class D), you must be 16, and you'll need to make sure you follow a number of state requirements:
- A Thomaston Georgia learner's license held for one year and one day (surrendered at the time of testing)
- You'll need to schedule the dreaded road test by calling 678-413-8400
- Bring your social security card
- A signed affidavit that you've completed 40 hours of driving experience (which must include at least 6 hours of night driving)
- Proof of a completed Thomaston Georgia approved driver education course
- Though you'll receive an electronic certificate, bring a paper copy to your road test
- If you took a Thomaston Georgia approved online driver education course, you'll also need your parent/guardian to complete the Parent Teen Driving Guide
- Don't forget to bring your Alcohol and Drug Awareness Program card
- A license fee of $10
- And finally, a Thomaston Georgia DDS Certificate of Attendance notarized from your school
At the Thomaston Georgia DMV, you'll present your Thomaston Georgia learner's license and the required materials. Make sure your parent or guardian is accompanying you! Then you'll take the following tests:
- Vision test, in which you must have 20/40 vision (with or without glasses)
- The dreaded road test! But if you've gotten plenty of driving practice and studied your Thomaston Georgia driving manual thoroughly, it should be a piece of cake--right?
Don't forget that the vehicle you use for your Thomaston Georgia road test must be properly insured, and car registration must be presented. If you survive, then congratulations. You've just earned your first Thomaston Georgia driver license!

Thomaston Georgia Learner's Permit Restrictions:
- You must always be accompanied by a licensed driver who is at least 21 and in the front passenger seat.

- After 1 year, you can drive with up to 3 non-family passengers under the age of 21
This may sound like a lot, but cheer up: when you turn 18, all of these restrictions are removed and you will receive your Class C Thomaston Georgia driver's license, provided you haven't had any major traffic violations in the last year. Congratulations!

If you are 16-18 and would like to opt out of the road test, you may do so upon completion of a Thomaston Georgia approved driver education course. The Thomaston Georgia DMV has a comprehensive list of the many Thomaston Georgia approved driver education courses.
In most states, you must be at least 15 1/2 to take drivers ed for your learners permit.

Since it reads the Thomaston Georgia online driver education course text aloud as you follow along with the online text, you will not be hindered by difficulty reading large amounts of text.
Yes, however the specific documents you will need before taking the learner's permit test varies from state to state. Most likely, you will need to present a certificate of completion showing you have successfully completed a Thomaston Georgia driver education online course. However, Thomaston Georgia may or may not need additional documentation from you including, but not limited to, proof of U.S. citizenship, parental consent forms, or proof of school enrollment. We recommend that you contact the Thomaston Georgia DMV, or visit its website, to learn exactly what paperwork the Thomaston Georgia DMV will need you to present when you apply for your Thomaston Georgia learner's permit test.
