To legally move ownership, the seller must sign the back of the original Georgia Certificate of Title. Every owner listed on the front must sign as a seller. Bring your signed title to the Murray County Tax Commissioner’s Office located right in Chatsworth to finish the transfer and put the car in your name.
Always put your safety first by meeting in a public, well-lit place during the day. Great spots in Chatsworth include the parking lot of the Chatsworth Police Department, the Murray County Sheriff's Office, or a highly visible commercial shopping center along Highway 411 during normal business hours.
Before you hand over any money, look closely at the paper title. Ask to see the seller’s government-issued ID to make sure their name 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 driver-side door jamb.
The seller must ask for a replacement title (Form MV-1) from the Georgia Department of Revenue if they lost the original paper. They must finish this process before they can legally sell the car to you. Never trade money for a car without getting a properly signed, physical title in your hand.
Absolutely. You should always hire a trusted local mechanic to check any vehicle before you buy it. Have a nearby auto repair shop in Chatsworth put the car on a lift for a full look. This helps you spot bad engines, weak transmissions, or thin brake pads before they become a costly problem for you.
