Just wanted to know when I need to get a new driver's license and license plate and how to go about performing that?(My old license and license plate are still valid until the summer.)

Applying for a new Georgia driver's license involves several steps that can vary depending on your age or licensing status.Licensed Drivers from Out of StateIf you have moved to Georgia from another state and need to transfer your license, you must do so within 30 days. Present the following documentation to your local driver's license office: * Provide proof of Georgia residency(current utility bill, rental receipt, bank statement, or letter from employer?current within 45 days). * Be 18 years or older. * Provide your Social Security number. * Surrender your out-of-state license. * Provide proof of identity(certified birth certificate, valid passport, military ID card, certified naturalization papers, or immigration ID card). * Pass an eye exam. * Pay the fee for a new license(see "Fees," below).If you lost your out-of-state license, you must provide a letter of clearance from that state with all of your driver's license information, as well as the documentation listed above.For teens wishing to transfer a learner's permit, you must complete the entire application process for those under 18; the out-of-state learner's permit is not valid in Georgia.For all other licensed drivers under the age of 18, you'll need to call the customer service number at(678) 413-8400. Each state has different laws concerning young drivers, so you will need to get the most current information for your state from customer service.AppointmentsAppointments are encouraged, but not required, for out-of-state license transfers. To make an appointment and cut down on the time you'll wait in line, call(678) 413-8500 and select option 3. If you live outside the metro Atlanta area, instead call(866) 754-3687 and select option 3. If you get a fast busy signal, please call(678) 413-8500.

If you live in the metro-Atlanta area, you can schedule an appointment.  The fee for a 5 year driver's license for class A, B, C and M is $20, and the fee for the same classes for a 10 year license is $35.  Provisional licenses for class D for 5 years is $10.   There are guidelines, which you can check at the link I have provided in my sources.
