Titles, registration and plates are not done at Augusta or any DDS center: they belong to the Department of Revenue's county tag office, and the county tag office guide says which errand goes where.

DDS asks every customer visiting Augusta to complete its online license, ID or permit form before the visit, the note it puts at the top of the center's page, and takes cash, major cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay at the counter.

The Georgia REAL ID guide and the identity and residency guide set them out for a visit to Augusta.

What a transaction at Augusta costs is on the DDS fees and terms page, $32 for an eight year license and $10 for a learner's permit among them, and in the Georgia fee guide, which also carries the Department of Revenue's title, tag and TAVT figures for the county tag office.
