- If the applicant is a minor without an ID card, then a copy of the birth certificate or acceptable documentation is required listing the parent or guardian.
Temporary Placards are red in color and are issued for 6 months. A new MV-9D or doctor prescription is required for a renewal.
Permanent placards are blue in color and are issued for 4 years. A new MV-9D or doctor prescription is not required for renewal. To renew, the individual must present the expiring placard, and their Georgia driver’s license or ID card with their current DeKalb County address to any of our three offices.
Disabled Person's License Plate
Only individuals with permanent disabilities are eligible for a disabled person's license plate, which must be applied for in person. You must meet the same requirements as above:
