How to Apply to Be a Limousine Driver in Atlanta
In Georgia, all limousine drivers are required to have permits. As a driver, you can obtain the permit only once you are employed by a limousine company. This means that when you apply for a job to be a limo driver in Atlanta, you must have already been in training for two weeks before you can apply for your chauffeur driver's permit. Once hired, your employer will assist you in getting the permit.

Request a copy of your driving record from the Georgia Department of Driver Services. As of April 2011, the fee is $6 for a three-year history and $8 for a seven-year history. Purchase and view your seven-year driving record on the Georgia DDS website (see Resources). Your seven-year driving record must be clean for you to obtain employment as a limousine driver. Print out your driving record because some companies require it as part of the application.
