ATTENTION: CONCEALED WEAPONS PERMIT APPLICANTS
Please note that beginning January 1, 2012, all counties in Georgia will begin processing the new Concealed Weapon Permits that will resemble a driver’s license and have your photo on them.
If you have not already applied for your permit and would like the new version of the license, please wait until after January 1st to apply.
If you are applying for a Concealed Weapon Permit before January 1, 2012, you will receive the laminated paper version that we currently issue.
Lost/Replacement Permits – If you have lost your valid Concealed Weapons Permit and need a replacement, please note that you will receive the laminated paper version that we currently issue. Only those applications for a NEW permit that were processed after January 1, 2012 will qualify for a driver’s license styled replacement.

In 2007, the Georgia Legislature adopted the Georgia Advance Directive for Heath Care Act which replaced the former Georgia Living Will and the Durable Power of Attorney for HealthCare. What had been two separate forms is now one document. This new document is meant to be a comprehensive up-to-date document that will assist Georgians in making their personal care and medical treatment decisions more clearly known. The new form uses understandable and everyday language and has easy to follow instructions. Please note that any validly executed Living Will created between March 28, 1986 and June 30, 2007 will remain valid until it is revoked. Also, any validly executed Durable Power of Attorney for Health Care created before June 30, 2007 will remain valid until it is revoked. For a copy of the new form, please see
