Georgia Department Of Driver Services

Shitty ass place with shitty ass workers! Went in for my road test and the lady was so unprofessional. You could just tell she was one of those old lady’s that hates her job and life. Let me just tell y’all to begin with I saw her talking to the previous person she had just finished testing and she was so rude and nasty to her. She then approached me and didn’t even say hi or anything just humming like a crazy bitch. (It was that type of humming crazy people do ya know what I’m saying) anyways so she was already mad and used that and based that on me and my driving when I did everything THE RIGHT WAY. First of if you’re going to do your job do it right and don’t have a nasty attitude towards someone who’s done nothing to you, because someone else made you mad doesn’t give you the right to take it out on someone else. FUCK YOU PAMMY (or patty) UGLY ASS BITCH CHOKE ON 500 DICKS YOU HOE WITH YOUR NASTY ASS YELLOW TEETH AND STANK ASS BREATHE. Never coming here again lmao this place deserves 0 stars!!!

I have to say, I never thought I would write a review for the DMV, but it must be known, that this is by far the best DMV I have ever been to.
I had o switch my Louisiana license over to Georgia and I looked online before coming in for all of the required docs. I had my passport, W2 showing full social security number, 2 separate prices of mail showing my new GA address and my Louisiana license to surrender.
The parking lot was full when I pulled up, I took the whole day off not bowing what I was getting myself into, and when I walked in there were about 40 people in line ahead of me just to check in. I rolled my eyes and got in line, but the line was moving so fast. They have representatives at the head of the line sending you to a kiosk to check in and fill out any applications you may need and then you are given a number for the waiting area.
There are about 20 counters and the wait was not long at all. After I sat down in the waiting area, my number was called within 10 minutes. The woman that helped me was so friendly and so efficient, everyone around her seemed very friendly as well, and as if they enjoyed working there. So refreshing!!!
I was in and out in no more than 20 minutes, I was in shock. Definitely come to this DMV next time you need anything done. :)

No one likes going to a state department office. My advice is to go online before you go, read three times what you need, pre– anything you can online before you go and make sure you have all your documents, probably even two sets just in case.
I was in and out in 10 minutes. I was specific with what I was there for, explained I did my pre application and confirmed I had all my documents. I was given a number, called right away, presented all my documents, smiled for a picture, paid the fee and was done.
Your experience is only as great as your preparation. Go prepared. I arrived at 8am on a Wednesday and they were pretty empty. Parking is not a problem as there are plenty of spaces. The facility is new and well marked. You should not have too much a problem if you go early.

Make sure you bring every document known! It took me three times because no one there requests all of the correct documents at one time!

Unicorn moment: I was in and out of the DDS within 15 minutes. Insane. But… I think it’s because I did some research before I went in.
Parking is amazing here. So many spots The inside of the DDS is pretty spacious too. Oh — they even have cell phone charger spots near the chairs. Neat!
Make sure to do your pre appy onine before you go in. AND — online it says best times to go in: before lunch on Wed/​Thurs. I got in at 11:30, got called 11:38, walked out around 11:45. It was awesome! I saw like 5 – 8 people at the computers when I walked in, but once I told the greeter I already had it done, he said to go ahead and grab a ticket.
The lady I had was really nice & personable when I renewed my license.

WOW! Not only does it look fantastic and modern but there was a greeter who was welcoming, SMILING, and helpful. I am so surprised and impressed it’s almost unbelievable.
The facility is clean and there are 20 booths and plenty of seating. The greeter is there when you walk in to assist you at the computer station or to direct you to the correct booth.
For those waiting for someone to take care of business at the booth, there are nice leather chairs near the front window and two charging stations in case you need it. There are also vending machines and a magazine rack with all the necessary driver’s guides and manuals for easy access.
I wish all government offices would make these types of upgrades. It has surely boosted employee morale and I know it made me feel better about being a customer.
The new building and service deserves 5 stars.

License Renewal
I really dread doing this, but I must admit that my visit was quick and painless this time. I arrived at 7:15am and stood in a line that formed outside the doors. They open at 7:30 Tues — Friday, so I tried to get there early. I was about the 12^th person in line, but a few people had already registered online… WORD OF ADVICE: IT’S EASIER IF YOU GO AHEAD AND REGISTER ONLINE, if not you will still have to use the computers in the office to register. I was in and out in 15 minutes, the Representatives were very polite and very helpful.
Prices: $ 25.00 to renew for 5 years and $ 32.00 to renew for 8 years.

Wow, this is nothing like the dreadful days of my youth going to the DMV.
I walked into a large, nicely cooled and clean building. There was someone at the door to help you get checked in and assist with questions. Several computers to register whatever is needed for your visit. Then you take a printed number, and wait in the main lobby. I sat for maybe 5 minutes before I was called. The gentleman was friendly and professional, and my license renewal (the one with all the IDs and paperwork) went by in a breeze.
Super impressed!

I wouldn’t have guessed that it would only take me about 10 minutes to get through in here. Great service. Courteous staff. Unlike the Sandy Springs location, they will let you look and approve your picture! I won’t go to another location anymore. Keep it up!

I can’t give this place a 2 stars because I haven’t really experienced anything better for a DMV.
One of the features I liked about this location is that you can check the wait times on the Web. They recommend going Wednesday and Thursday for the minimal amount of wait time.
So I checked the Web site and saw they had a 5 – 10 minute wait. Sweet. So I drive there, and I wait 40 minutes. Okay, maybe you shouldn’t trust the website.
They do pump through the people fast. They seem efficient. It’s just too many people come to this location.
The people who work here are like machines. They have no personality. But hey, they’re probably there to serve as much people as possible, not to make friends. So I can’t fault them for that.

When I came here 5 years ago, the experience was abysmal. 45 minute wait, and very slow to get to the next person. Maybe 4 – 5 minutes each. About 3 years ago we were back and the lines were longer and got a lot of misinformation that wasted our time. 2 years ago we were turned away at 2pm because they said they would not be able to see us before close. My how things have changed. The attitude was positive, the wait time was less than 10 minutes (just in time to fill out the 1 page application), and they were calling for a new number about a minute (or less) apart. Kudos! I cannot complains about DDS anymore!

Ugh! I cannot really say anything bad Bc they did renew my license… But bring everything you own. Birth certificate, a blood sample and your beautiful smile. Watch out for the bathrooms though!

I had to renew my license and from the time it took me to park, walk my happy behind inside, sign in, grab a seat, take a picture, chit chat with the picture lady about taking my picture with my eyes looking straight up at the ceiling as opposed to straight into the camera, and walk out with a paper temporary license… 15 minutes.

This place really isn’t that bad. They need to expand their waiting line for the inside because I got there at 7:30 when they open and I waited outside for at least 15 minutes outside in the cold. However the process was very fast and both times that I had to go they were very professional. Much better than the one in Rome, Ga where I originally got my license. Highly recommended.

Appalling. There’s nothing more to say.
The amount of time these people have to wait for service is appalling. The rundown condition of this building is appalling. The waiting room that treats everyone like livestock is appalling.
The Department of Driver Services is already a frustrating experience. The conditions here make things even worse and I’m surprised that I’m the only one who seems angry about it.
Write to the governor. Call your Congresslady. Do whatever you need to do so this DDS location receives proper funding and expansion. Heck, you might want to go ahead and reach out to Jesus. Prayers might be the only thing that will help.
