Drivers from Other Nations
Georgia recognizes valid driver licenses issued to, and held by, residents of other countries as long as the
“Out of County” license is valid (not expired). Generally, you may drive in Georgia for up to one year on a
valid foreign or international license.
If you plan to drive in Georgia, you will need to apply for a Georgia license. This means that you will be
recognized as a resident of Georgia while you are here studying at LIFE. You ARE required to take and pass
Georgia’s written road and vision test to be issued a Georgia’s driver’s license.
When applying for a Georgia driver’s license, you will
need to submit a social security denial letter, along with
