Additionally, the Georgia Department of Revenue will close its motor vehicle application and tag and title system from January 13-18. The closer allows the completion of a technology upgrade to the Driver Record and Integrated Vehicle Enterprise System (DRIVES).
Enterprise
System. This multi-year upgrade modernizes the current DDS Driver’s License system and the DOR Tag & Title system. The new system will offer more self-service options, improve customer service, and enhance data integrity.
While DOR and County Tax Commissioners have been utilizing DRIVES since Spring 2019, this important upgrade done in tandem with the DDS system transition will ensure each agency will have access to the most recent enhancements and features of the software.
The DRIVES system establishes a customer centric Enterprise Solution to support each Agency, and the partners will maintain their individual roles as defined in State Law. DDS will continue to handle the state’s driver license and ID Card issuance function by properly trained and certified driver examiners. Each County Tax Commissioner will continue their established mission including motor vehicle license plate and title administration.
