Does Georgia Form 912 mean my license is active?
Not by itself. It may satisfy one piece of the administrative path, but the state can still require fees, proof, waiting periods, other holds, or status confirmation before the license is active.

What this usually means
Why this notice or form matters
Form 912 is the court-clearance artifact for many Georgia failure-to-appear holds. The court issue must be resolved first; then DDS can process the reinstatement side. The roadmap checks this against the other holds you tell us about, because one cleared item does not always mean the license is active.

Before you pay anything

What should I check before paying a reinstatement fee?
