Driver Services serves more than 1M customers during pandemic

- From staff reports

Georgia Department of Driver Services (DDS) says, as of Aug. 5, it has safely served more than 1 million customers since Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency on March 14.

DDS reopened nine days after the emergency declaratio­n, stocked with personal protective equipment and a plan to serve customers safely.

“I am very proud of the DDS Team,” Commission­er Spencer R. Moore said. “We’ve had to transform the way we do business in a short period of time and our team rose to the occasion. They have remained flexible and committed to providing the very best customer service while adhering to the establishe­d safety precaution­s.”

DDS reports that 634,437 customers received face-toface service by visiting one of its 67 customer service centers, and DDS has processed 502,572 online transactio­ns since the emergency declaratio­n.

“To provide service to such a large volume of customers and to do so safely is nothing short of amazing” Commission­er Moore said.

DDS encourages customers first to try obtaining their licensing service using DDS online services or via the free mobile app DDS 2 GO.

Anyone who cannot use remote services, should make an appointmen­t for a timely and safe in- person visit at https://dds.georgia.gov/ your-georgia-drivers-license/ scheduling-your-appointmen­t.
