Titles, registration and plates are not done at Gainesville 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 Gainesville 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.

Before you go to Gainesville

For a first license, a REAL ID or a transfer at Gainesville take the documents on the DDS REAL ID page: identity, Social Security number, two proofs of Georgia residence and, where it applies, lawful status. The Georgia REAL ID guide and the identity and residency guide set them out for a visit to Gainesville.

What a transaction at Gainesville 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.

Calling (800) 436-7442, or the (678) 413-8400 number DDS prints on the page for Gainesville, reaches the DDS call center, not a telephone inside Gainesville, because DDS publishes no direct line for any location.
