Where the Newnan driver's license office is located

The Georgia Department of Driver Services office in Newnan is at 11 Bullsboro Drive, Newnan, GA 30263. This is the only DDS office in Newnan itself. If you cannot reach this location, the next nearest offices are in McDonough (about 15 miles south) and Marietta (about 30 miles north).

The building is in a commercial area off Highway 34. If you are using GPS or a maps app, search for "Georgia DDS Newnan" or enter the street address directly — the office shares a parking lot with other businesses, so arriving a few minutes early helps you find the entrance.

Hours and what to bring

The Newnan office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and closed on state holidays and weekends. Hours can change without notice, so call ahead at (770) 786-0963 before you go, especially if you are traveling from out of town.

Bring your current ID (passport, military ID, or out-of-state license), proof of residency (utility bill, lease, or bank statement dated within 60 days), your Social Security card or a document showing your number, and proof of your legal name if it differs from your ID. If you are renewing, bring your current Georgia license. The office does not accept photos or documents by email — everything must be in hand when you arrive.

What you can do at this office

The Newnan DDS office handles driver's license renewals, replacements for lost or damaged licenses, address changes, and first-time license applications. You can also update your name on your license if you have a court order or marriage certificate. The office does not issue commercial driver's licenses (CDL) — those require a separate test at a CDL testing facility.

Vision tests are performed on-site, so you do not need to bring a separate eye exam result unless you have a medical condition that requires one. If you fail the vision test, staff can tell you what to do next, but you cannot retake it the same day.

Wait times and walk-in policy

The Newnan office operates on a first-come, first-served basis — there is no online appointment system for this location. Wait times vary widely depending on the day and time. Mornings (8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.) are usually shorter than afternoons, and Mondays and Fridays tend to be busier than mid-week days.

You can call (770) 786-0963 to ask about current wait times before you leave home. Some people wait 30 minutes; others wait two hours. The office closes at 5:00 p.m., and staff stop taking new customers around 4:45 p.m., so plan to arrive with time to spare.

Fees and payment methods

A standard driver's license renewal costs $32 and is valid for eight years. A replacement for a lost or damaged license costs $20. A first-time license process costs $32. Address changes are free. The office accepts cash, debit cards, and credit cards — no checks.

Fees are set by the state and do not vary by location. If you are unsure which service you need, call the office and describe your situation; staff can tell you the exact fee before you arrive.

If you cannot visit in person

Georgia allows some renewals by mail if your license is not expired and you have no medical restrictions. You can request a renewal form from the Georgia DDS website or by calling 1-844-900-3267. Mail-in renewal takes about two weeks and costs $32, the same as in-person renewal.

If you need a replacement license, a first-time license, or a name change, you must visit an office in person. There is no mail or online option for these services. If you live far from Newnan, the McDonough or Marietta offices may be closer and offer the same services.
