Income tax season brings welcome refunds and a surge of customers visiting the Department of Driver Services (DDS) customer service centers to reinstate their suspended driving privileges. DDS Commissioner Angelique B. McClendon reminds customers of a way to save valuable time - using DDS Online Services at dds.georgia.gov.

"If your Georgia driver's license is suspended, save yourself a trip and start online. DDS Online Services make it easy to check important details like reinstatement fees, required documents, and steps you need to take to get back on the road-all from the comfort of home," said Commissioner McClendon.

By accessing DDS Online Services, customers can

• View and pay pending suspension, super speeder, reinstatement, or billable invoice fees.
• Check suspension and/or reinstatement information
• Request a replacement card to be mailed to you
• Drive on the temporary printed from Online Services

"The license reinstatement process is the most time-consuming transaction for our DDS team members," said Commissioner McClendon. "Having customers choose to reinstate and request a free replacement license online is a win-win. Customers can reinstate comfortably at home, and it will directly affect the wait times at DDS customer service centers for those that absolutely must come in."
