Q: I read recently that, effective July 1, new rules went into effect in order to renew or get a driver's license. I was wondering whether these also apply to obtaining or renewing a Georgia-issued ID card. — Nora Summers, Ball Ground
A: The new rules also pertain to Georgia-issued ID cards. "If you currently hold a valid Georgia DL (driver's license) or ID, you will be issued a 'Secure ID' DL/ID at the time of your next renewal or reinstatement," according to the Georgia Department of Driver Services' website. A checklist of required documents to obtain or renew a driver's license or ID card is found at www.dds.ga.gov/SecureID/default.aspx.
