The State of Georgia Environmental Protection Division has filed the Hazardous Site Inventory as of July 1, 2012 with the Clerks' of Superior Court of Georgia.  We have placed a copy of this report on our web page under the Hazardous Site Inventory in our document section for your convenience.

Starting July 3, 2012, all Georgia residents who are applying for their first GA Drivers License (DL) and/or Identification Card (ID), and those who are renewing an existing GA DL/ID, or who are reinstating a suspended DL, will be issued a Secure ID.

A Secure ID ensures that Georgia will continue to produce the most secure Driver's License's (DL) and identification (ID) cards that our state has ever produced.  It will also place Georgia in compliance with the Federal Real ID Act of 2005, which prohibits the federal government from accepting drivers licenses or IDs issued by non-compliant states to board a commercial flight or enter a federal building.  The new Secure ID process will be phased-in with existing licenses and IDs remaining valid until the expiration date.

For more information on the new Secure ID,  frequently asked questions and the DDS brochure click view the new requirements  and this will take you to the documents.
