Where the photo is taken
Georgia instructional permits (Class CP) carry a photo. DDS takes it when you visit a Customer Service Center to apply and pass the vision and knowledge exams.
Online steps and photo upload
You can fill out the permit application online beforehand, but you still visit a DDS Customer Service Center for exams and the photo. No option to upload your own photo was found.
