Veterans drivers License

Veterans

Veterans receive a free license until they reach the age of 65. Then they must renew their licenses every five years and are required to pass a vision test each renewal period.

You'll need to provide a copy of your separation papers, showing your honorable discharge, to your county's Department of Veterans Service to receive your certificate of eligibility. Present this certificate to your local driver's license office to receive your free license.

Your spouse is also eligible for a free license.

National Guard

Current or former members of the Georgia National Guard who have provided at least 20 years of service are also eligible for the free veteran's license. You'll need to get a letter of certification from the Adjutant General of Georgia, stating your eligibility. Present that letter to your local driver's license office.

Current members of the Georgia National Guard who have served at least one year are eligible for a distinctive license. Form DS-318 must be obtained from your commanding officer and presented to your local driver's license office.
