Beginning Thursday, December 30, 2021 at 7 pm, the Georgia Department of Revenue (DOR) will begin a system upgrade to the state’s DRIVES system (Driver Record and Integrated Vehicle Enterprise System) to improve efficiency and reduce operational costs.

 

ALL vehicle registrations and titling services in Georgia, including e-Services and tag renewal kiosks, will be unavailable beginning Thursday, December 30, 2021 at 7 pm and will not resume until Tuesday, January 4, 2022. Vehicle owners with expiration dates in late December and early January are encouraged to renew prior to December 30, 2021 at 7 pm to avoid delays. 

 

What to Expect: Thursday, December 30, 2021 at 7 pm through January 3, 2022:

  • County Tag Offices and the Georgia Department of Revenue Motor Vehicle Division will be unable to process transactions.
  • All online motor vehicle related services, including online tag renewal services, will be unavailable.
  • Motor Vehicle Self Service Kiosks will be unavailable.

 

How will this impact Georgia motor vehicle owners and drivers?

  • Customers and dealers seeking to conduct any title transactions should complete their business at a county tag office prior to Thursday, December 30, 2021 at 4:00 pm.
  • Dealers will be able to initiate electronic title and registration (ETR) transactions and issue emergency temporary operating permits (TOPs) over New Year’s weekend.
  • Law enforcement will still have access to motor vehicle records.

 

Please note that Chattooga County will be closed on December 31, 2021 in observance of the New Year’s Day holiday.
