Gather records to support residency and service claims

To establish proof of service, a veteran must visit one of the Georgia Department of Veterans Service (GDVS) offices and present separation documentation (DD Form 214) from the U.S. Department of Defense to be issued a “Certificate of Eligibility for Veteran’s Driver’s License/Identification Card.” Those who meet the residency and service requirements may bring the certificate to any DDS customer service center to be issued a free license or ID. Those veterans who did not meet the established requirements for a free license/ID may bring the certificate to any DDS customer service center to be issued a veteran’s license/ID at the standard licensing fee (5 years/$20.00 or 8 years for $32.00). 

Take the completed form to the Department of Driver Services (DDS) Customer Service Center

In addition to identification verification, DDS may review the documentation presented to GDVS in obtaining the certification.
