What's the DDS?

What you need to do is look at your local DMV's website to determine
what you need in order to get your local driver license.

I asked the question before as well. DDS stands for doctor of dentistry
not for the department of motor vehicles.

LOL, I know, I asked before too. Never got an answer from the OP on it,
so thought I'd ask again.

I wonder if it stands for "Defensive Driving School"?

It WAS the DMV in Georgia.
For the OP here is the link:
http://www.dmv.org/ga-georgia/apply-license.php

She is right!! It IS DDS, which is very strange.

"Effective July 1, 2005 the Department of Motor Vehicle Safety (DMVS)
will become the Department of Driver Services (DDS). "

Here is the link to their new page.
