Georgia drivers aged 64 and older are required to renew their license in person at a Georgia Department of Driver Services Office (DDS). All drivers will be required to take a vision test. In some cases, drivers may also have to supply a medical report indicating that they are healthy enough to drive.

Additionally, a senior driver in Georgia may have to submit to a reexamination in order to renew his or her license. A reexamination may be ordered based on the person's driving record, medical report or on the recommendation of a family member, doctor or officer. A hearing officer may require the reexamination to include a written test and/or driving test, in addition to the standard interview.
