DDS asks every customer visiting Calhoun 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.

DDS takes walk-ins at Calhoun for everything except a road test: the helpful links on its page say appointments are required for road tests only, and those are booked on the DDS road test page. Before any visit to Calhoun DDS asks for its online license, ID or permit form.
