I don't know about Georgia specifically but in many states these permits fall under the jurisdiction of the Fish and Wildlife Department or DNR. It looks like for your state it is DNR.



If you go to the site linked below and use the "contact your conservation ranger' link on the left you should be able to get in touch with somebody who will have your answers. Specifically I would start with the nongame office. I don't think you can just download the permit online, you'll probably need to have it emailed to you. In my state there is barely any information available about this sort of thing online but by emailing or calling fish and wildlife directly I have been able to get all the information and applications I've ever needed.



Some states are very conservative with who they will issue collecting or possession permits to. Some states just want to make sure that people who cannot care for these animals safely do not get them, others have the laws set in place because they strongly believe that these animals should not be kept as pets and only issue permits to educational or research institutions and not private collectors. I don't know where Georgia stands in that spectrum.
