佐治亚州驾照
移居美国后，在佐治亚州拿到你的第一本驾照。
办理流程
- 1刚搬来你搬到了佐治亚州，想在这里开车。
- 2学习许可你拿着学习驾驶许可（learner permit）上路练车。
- 3笔试你参加笔试。
- 4路考你上车参加路考。
- 拿到驾照考试通过，驾照就是你的了。
费用
第一本驾照
$32（美元）
州法律只规定收费上限，不直接定价：五年期非商用驾照上限 $20，八年期上限 $32，学习驾驶许可（instruction permit）或 Class D 驾照上限 $10，补办上限 $10。实际金额由驾驶员服务委员会（Board of Driver Services）在上限内确定。
有效期不超过五年的非商用 Class C、E、F 或 M 驾照收费 $20。有效期按你的获准停留期截短的驾照就属于这一档，所以你要付的就是这笔费用。
申请时缴纳。
如果你刚到美国
你的移民身份
只要符合七类合法居留身份中的一类，你就可以获发临时驾照、学习许可或特殊身份证——这是佐治亚州为非美国公民设的通道，发的是正式驾照，不是低一等的类别。有效期为你在美国的获准停留期或五年，以先到者为准。
没有到期日期的外国证件
如果你的移民文件上没有到期日期，你可以获发有效期一年的临时驾照、学习许可或身份证——除非文件表明你是已获庇护者、难民或合法永久居民，这几类人按另外的规则处理。
需要的材料
- 仍在有效期内的证件经认证的出生证明、未过期的美国护照、永久居民卡（I-551 表）、工作许可（EAD，I-766 表），或贴有美国签证的外国护照。
你的社会安全号码（SSN）
提交号码，以及谁能看到
你必须把完整的社会安全号码（SSN）填在规定的在线 License/ID/Permit 表格上。
2007 年一月 1 日以来签发或更新的驾照和学习许可，卡面上不得显示你的社会安全号码，卡号本身也不能用 SSN。这条规定只管卡上印什么——部门仍然会收集这个号码。
你的驾照号不是社会安全号码：佐治亚州会随机生成一个唯一的识别号码，所以卡上永远不会显示 SSN。如果现有的客户号码正好是社会安全号码，仅凭这一点就可以要求更换。
发证时必须提供 SSN，除非你是非美国公民、因为没有工作资格而无法申请 SSN。号码会按联邦法规的要求进行核验，你的卡上印的是随机生成的识别号码，而不是 SSN。
要参加的考试
视力检查
视力报告表（DS-MR-274）可在 dds.georgia.gov/document/form/vision-form-mr-274/download 下载，你可以带去给验光师填写。
标准是：至少一只眼睛的矫正或未矫正视力达到 20/60 或更好，双眼睁开时水平视野至少 140 度——如果只有一只眼睛有可用视力，则颞侧至少 70 度、鼻侧至少 50 度。戴眼镜或隐形眼镜都算数，所以需要矫正不会让你失去资格，只是驾照上会加一条必须佩戴矫正镜片的限制。
在外面做的视力检查也算数，条件是不超过 24 个月，并且由持照医生、验光师或眼科医生完成。标准同样是至少一只眼睛的矫正或未矫正视力达到 20/60 或更好，水平视野至少 140 度。
由持照医生、验光师或眼科医生做的视力检查，只要是在你申请前 24 个月之内完成、并且显示你达到最低标准，就可以代替驾驶员服务局（DDS）的现场检查。
达不到标准——视力 20/60 或更好、水平视野至少 140 度——就绝对拿不到驾照。如果你需要矫正镜片才能达标，驾照照样发，但会限制你必须戴着镜片开车。
路考
非商用 Class A 和 B 不考路考。取而代之，你要证明自己在持有该类别有效学习许可期间，有三个月和/或 3,000 英里驾驶该类车辆的经验，或者完成过商用驾驶培训课程，由雇主出具宣誓书来证明；自雇者自行声明即可。
Class C 路考考的是基本驾驶：展示对车辆正常、合理的控制，并在车流中安全行驶。规定没有列出具体考哪些动作。
非商用路考可以选远程或传统两种形式。远程形式需要你自己安排一名持驾照的成年乘客和一台免提设备。
需要
如果你把外州驾照上交换成佐治亚州身份证，就会失去免试资格：以后再想拿佐治亚州驾照，就得参加并通过路考。而直接用外州驾照换佐治亚州驾照，则笔试和路考都不用考。
首次申请驾照，你必须通过笔试和相应的路考。
笔试可以考几次
笔试或路考没通过，要等到第二天才能重考；从第二次不通过起，每次要等七天。只需重考没通过的部分，官方没有公布次数上限，也没有公布重考费。
必须先通过视力检查才能参加笔试。当天考试中任何一部分没通过，都可能算作当天整场考试不通过。
驾驶考试的任何部分没通过（CDL 除外），都可以按规定的时间安排重考。法规没有公布次数上限，也没有公布重考费。
第一次没通过，等到第二天就可以重考没通过的部分。
笔试练习题
笔试题目出自《佐治亚州驾驶员手册》（Georgia Drivers Manual）里讲到的内容，所以这本手册就是备考资料。
驾驶员服务局（DDS）把驾照、学习许可和车辆相关的可下载手册和指南放在 dds.georgia.gov/dds-forms-and-manuals/manuals。
考非商用 Class E/F 时，要看的是《佐治亚州商用驾驶员手册》（Georgia Commercial Drivers Manual），不是普通驾驶员手册。手册在 dds.georgia.gov 上有电子版，任何一家驾驶员服务局（DDS）客户服务中心都有纸质版。
非商用 Class E 和 F 的笔试题出自商用（CDL）驾驶员手册，而不是普通驾驶员手册——这两个类别以前叫 A 和 B。手册在 dds.georgia.gov/cdl-study-guide。
现行的《佐治亚州驾驶员手册》是 2023-2024 版，网址是 dds.georgia.gov/dds-drivers-manual-2023-2024。

持学习许可练车
练车时谁能陪你
这个人必须年满 21 岁，持有商用或非商用 Class C 车辆的驾照，身体状况能够随时接管车辆，并且坐在你旁边的座位上。
一名年满 21 岁的驾驶人，持有商用或非商用 Class C 车辆的驾照，身体状况能够随时接管车辆，坐在你旁边的座位上。
路考要带什么
谁陪你去
远程路考时考官不在车里，但你不是一个人：车上必须有一名年满 21 岁、持驾照的成年人。考试通过一台双向摄像头和一台免提设备进行。
必须有一名年满 21 岁、持驾照的驾驶人陪你前来。车里只能有你和这名驾驶人——考试期间不能带孩子，也不能带宠物。
考试用车和保险
Class C 路考只能用带方向盘的四轮车。三轮车，或用车把转向的车，会被拒绝。
要带纸质的车辆注册文件——手机里的照片不行——和有效的当期保险卡；考试前车辆必须通过驾驶员服务局（DDS）的安全检查。租来的车只有租车合同上写着你自己的名字才能用；挂临时牌照或最近 30 天内购买的车，还要带购车凭证（bill of sale）。
考试用车由你自己提供，考前会按一份清单检查，检查决定考试能不能进行：刹车踏板踩下后离地板要留有两英寸以上的余量（动力刹车除外）、有喇叭、有后视镜、方向盘旷量不超过三英寸、要用转向灯的话转向灯正常、所有规定的车外灯正常，还要有有效车牌。
你必须实际亲手控制车辆，并能证明不靠自动辅助功能也会开车。如果一辆车的驾驶辅助功能关不掉，这场预约就有泡汤的风险。
车里只能有你和陪同的持照驾驶人——考试期间不能带孩子，也不能带宠物。
转向灯不亮的车不会被拒绝——但那样你就必须能用手势信号通过路考。
车辆需要有效的责任险、注册、安全检查和未过期的车牌——车不必是你自己的，借来的车只要满足这四条也可以。路考本身只用英语进行。
一辆带方向盘、能通过驾驶员服务局（DDS）安全检查的四轮车，备好注册文件和有效的当期保险卡，刹车正常、有喇叭、有后视镜、方向盘旷量不超过三英寸、要用转向灯的话转向灯正常、规定的车外灯正常，还要有有效车牌。租车的话，租车合同上必须有你的名字；挂临时牌照或最近 30 天内购买的车，还要带购车凭证（bill of sale）。
带高级驾驶辅助技术的车可以用，但你必须证明不靠这些技术也会开。如果这些系统没法关闭，这场预约就有泡汤的风险。
可以用租来的车，但驾驶员服务局（DDS）提醒：租车合同可能禁止把车用于驾驶培训或考试，考官会翻看合同核实。要带上租车合同的复印件，合同上要把你列为驾驶人，还要出示这辆车的有效保险证明。
购车凭证（bill of sale）的适用期限：从车行买车是 30 天，从第三方（比如私人卖家）买车只有七天。
考试用车必须有责任险，考试时用有效的保险卡或显示 VIN 的机动车注册卡来证明。开考前车辆还必须通过安全检查。
去哪里办
谁来监考
传统形式下，驾驶员服务局（DDS）的考官坐在副驾驶座上——与远程路考不同，这时不需要另找持驾照的成年乘客。
远程形式下，驾驶员服务局（DDS）的考官通过一台双向摄像头和一台免提手机远程主持考试——考官不在车里。必须有一名年满 21 岁、持有效驾照的家长、监护人或其他负责任的成年人坐在车上。
佐治亚州的非商用路考可以远程考：用一台双向摄像头和一台免提设备远程进行，车上要有一名年满 21 岁、持驾照的成年人。
现场考时，佐治亚州驾驶员服务局（DDS）的考官坐在副驾驶座上。远程形式下，考官通过一台双向摄像头和一台免提设备远程工作，车上要有一名年满 21 岁、持驾照的成年人。
汽车、摩托车和商用路考都由驾驶员服务局（DDS）自己主持，三种考试共用一个在线预约系统。官方没有指定任何第三方考试机构来替代非商用路考。
预约
你可以在 dds.drives.ga.gov 预约路考。
只有实车路考——汽车、CDL 或摩托车——才需要预约；更新驾照、更改地址和其他现场业务都不用。预约在 DDS DRIVES 系统上进行，网址是 dds.drives.ga.gov。
dds.drives.ga.gov 上的同一个工具既能预约路考，也能更改或取消已有的预约。
驾驶员服务局（DDS）在 dds.georgia.gov/testing-and-training/road-test 介绍了路考预约；预约系统本身在 dds.drives.ga.gov。
