As someone who's had their fair share of experiences with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) in various states, I was a bit skeptical to visit the Georgia DMV for my license renewal. To my surprise, the entire process was nothing short of amazing. From the moment I walked into the Georgia DMV office, I was greeted with friendly staff who efficiently guided me through the necessary steps.
