To check the points on your Georgia driver's license (GA license), you can follow these steps:
- Create an Online Services Account
Visit the Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) website and create an online account. This account allows you to check your license status, view the number of points on your license, and handle reinstatement if needed
- Use the DDS 2 GO Mobile App
Alternatively, download the DDS 2 GO mobile app, which provides similar functionality for checking points and license status directly from your smartphone
- Request a Driving History Report (MVR)
You can obtain an Individual Georgia Driving History Report (also known as a Motor Vehicle Report) through the DDS, which includes your points history and traffic violations
- Contact DDS by Phone or Mail
You can call the automated DDS phone line at 404-657-9300 to check your license validity. For detailed points information, you may need to submit a request form to the Georgia DDS by mail
Additional Information:
- Points in Georgia range from 1 to 6 per violation, depending on the severity of the offense. Accumulating 15 points within 24 months results in license suspension
- Points remain on your driving record for 24 months from the date of the violation
- You can reduce up to 7 points once every 5 years by completing a certified Driver Improvement (defensive driving) course and submitting the completion certificate to DDS
By using the DDS online account or mobile app, you can conveniently monitor your points and driving record to avoid suspension and maintain a clean license.
