To obtain a Georgia driver's license or identification card, a non US citizen must present one of the following immigration documents that prove legal presence in the US:
1. Valid (not expired) passport with I-94 or I-551
2. Temporary resident alien card
3. Permanent resident alien card
4. Employment Authorization Card
A Georgia driver's license or identification card may be issued with an expiration date that matches the immigration documentation expiration date, but no longer than 5 years. If there is no expiration date on the immigration documentation, a license/identification card can only be issued for a period of 1 year. The cost of the license/ID is $20.
A non US citizen must present their immigration documentation every time service is requested pertaining to a driver's license or identification card. This includes renewal, replacement or name and address changes, as well as all other transactions performed by Georgia Department of Driver Services.
