The GA Dot has changed their policy for teens getting their driver's license and learner's permits. We used to have a form that we filled out and hav signed by the BOE to prove current school attendance.
Now, we only have to present a copy of the Declaration of Intent letter!!

I'm quoting their website:
"For driving permits or licenses all that is needed is the Declaration of Intent with a 36 character parent signature. This document replaces the Certificate of Attendance and should be submitted with all other Driver Service's required documents to obtain a driving permit or license."

SO much easier!!!
(You also need two proofs of address, SS number, and Birth Certificate.)
