The seller must sign the back of the original Georgia Certificate of Title to transfer ownership. Every owner listed on the front must sign as a seller. Once you have the signed title, take it to the Pierce County Tax Commissioner’s Office located right in Blackshear. They will process the paperwork and put the car in your name.
Ask to see the seller’s government-issued ID before you hand over any cash. Check that the name on their ID matches the name printed on the title. You must also check that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the paper title exactly matches the VIN on the car’s dashboard and the driver-side door frame.
A lien means a bank or loan company still has a claim on the car. Look at the front of the Georgia title to find any active lienholders. If you see a lender listed, the seller must hand you an official lien release document from that bank. You cannot get a clear title in your name without it.
We suggest getting a full vehicle history report from KarKiosk to see the car's past clearly. This report helps you find hidden accidents, spot salvage titles, and see if the car has flood damage.
No. Georgia does not ask for a notary to watch you sign titles for private car sales. You just need to sign and date the right spots on the title to make the transfer legal. If the car has a title from another state, you must follow the notary rules of that specific state.
