The Department of Driver Services (DDS) that issued your driver’s license can also take it away for bad driving?through cancellation, suspension, or revocation?at any time.

You can find out whether your license is in good standing when you consult the DDS or check your driving record (also called a driving history or an MVR).

Check Your Georgia Driving Record

You can check your MVR both with the DDS and with third-party vendors.

Suspended License in All States?

Thanks to the National Driver Register (NDR), it’s highly unlikely you’ll be able to get a new license in any state if you already have a license suspension in another state. The NDR is a database that receives and stores information regarding license suspensions and revocations, as well as serious traffic violations such as driving under the influence (DUI).

If you’re new to this state and what to get a license here, keep in mind the DDS will request either a valid out-of-state license (or one that’s expired for no more than two years), or a letter of clearance or certified driving record from your old state. So, even if you happened to slide under the NDR radar, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to slide under the state’s.

The Driver License Compact (DLC) works nearly the same way, but for non-residents. If a non-resident commits a traffic violation outside his home state, officials in his home state will receive information about the violation and take action.
