What to bring

  • properly assigned Georgia title
  • completed Form MV-1 title and tag application
  • proof of Georgia liability insurance when registration will be issued
  • bill of sale or odometer details when Georgia requires them

Likely next steps

  1. Start with Georgia's title-transfer workflow rather than a normal renewal.
  2. File the Georgia title and tag work within the time window the state gives after the sale or transfer.
  3. Take the signed title, application, insurance, and any bill-of-sale or emissions records to the county tag office.
  4. Once Georgia updates the ownership record, return to the registration path if the vehicle still needs active registration.
