Georgia Veteran Driver License

Code section 40-5-36 says the Department of Driver Services may not charge a fee to issue or renew a veteran's, honorary, or distinctive license. A veteran license may be issued to a Georgia resident who served in the active military, naval, or air service and was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable. The Department of Veterans Service, which certifies applicants, tells veterans that an honorable discharge or a medical discharge is what it accepts. It also qualifies a member or former member of the National Guard who served on active duty or has 20 years of National Guard service. An honorary license may be issued to the unremarried surviving spouse of a veteran who would qualify, and to the spouse of a veteran who would qualify but whose disabilities make it impossible to drive. A distinctive license may be issued to a Georgia National Guard member in good standing with at least one year of satisfactory service. The department can cancel that distinctive license when the adjutant general reports that the person is no longer a member in good standing. The license shows a flag and the word Veteran. Bring the discharge paperwork the Department of Driver Services asks for. A disability percentage is not the test.
