What documents to bring

The documents you need depend on your transaction type. For a driver's license renewal, bring your current license and proof of your current address (a utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within the last 60 days). If you're renewing early because your address changed, you'll also need the new address proof.

For a license replacement (lost, stolen, or damaged), bring your Social Security card or a document showing your Social Security number, proof of residency, and your current ID if you still have it. For an address change only, bring your current license and proof of your new address. If you're explore for a vehicle registration or title, bring your current registration, proof of insurance, and a bill of sale or title if it's a new vehicle to you.

Georgia accepts utility bills, bank statements, lease agreements, mortgage statements, and government mail as proof of residency. The document must show your name and current address and be dated within 60 days. If you don't have a current ID, bring two documents that together prove your identity and address — for example, a Social Security card and a utility bill.

Fees and payment methods

Driver's license renewals cost $32 for an eight-year license. Replacements for a lost or damaged license cost $20. Address changes on an existing license are $20. Vehicle registration renewals vary by vehicle weight and type but typically range from $25 to $50. The Calhoun office accepts cash, debit cards, and credit cards.

If you're unsure of the exact fee for your transaction, call the office before you go. Fees can change, and some transactions may have additional costs depending on your situation (for example, if you need a duplicate title or a corrected registration).

Online and mail options for some transactions

Not every transaction requires a visit to the Calhoun office. Georgia allows driver's license renewals by mail if your license is not expired and you have no medical restrictions. You can also renew online through the Georgia DDS website if you meet the same requirements. Mail renewals take about two weeks; online renewals are processed within a few days.

Vehicle registration renewals can also be completed online or by mail if you have no outstanding violations or unpaid fines. Address changes on a driver's license must be done in person. If you're unsure whether your situation qualifies for mail or online renewal, call (706) 625-3400 and describe your transaction — the staff can tell you whether you need to visit in person.

What to expect when you arrive

When you walk in, look for the number dispenser near the entrance and take a ticket. Wait for your number to be called on the overhead display. Have all your documents ready and organized before you reach the window — this speeds up the process and reduces errors.

Most straightforward transactions (renewals, address changes, registration renewals) take 15 to 30 minutes once you're at the window. More complex transactions, like a first-time title process or a corrected registration, may take longer. If the office is very busy, you may wait 45 minutes to an hour before your number is called. If you need to leave, you can return another day — there's no penalty for not completing your transaction on the day you arrive.
