The initial price tag is $50 every 2 years. Continuing education is not a listed requirement for this profession in Georgia, so the annualized maintenance burden is lower than in states that mandate ongoing hours.

Georgia handles out-of-state credentials on a case-by-case basis instead of a standing reciprocity list.
