To legally transfer 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 properly signed title to a DeKalb County Tax Commissioner’s Office—with convenient locations like the Memorial Drive office in nearby Decatur—to complete the transfer and put the car in your name.
We highly recommend using the official Georgia Department of Revenue Form T-7 (Bill of Sale). This document serves as your official receipt and protects both you and the seller from future disputes about the sale price, date, or vehicle condition. Make sure it includes the exact VIN, vehicle details, sale price, date, and signatures from both parties.
You will be responsible for paying standard title and registration fees, plus the TAVT, when you put the car in your name. The state calculates the TAVT based on the fair market value of the vehicle determined by the Department of Revenue, not the cash amount you handed the seller.
In Georgia, the license plate stays with the seller. Plates are registered to an individual, not the vehicle. The seller is required by state law to remove their plate before you take possession of the car. Do not drive the car with the seller's plates still attached.
Before you hand over any money, carefully inspect the physical title document. Ensure the seller’s name on the title perfectly matches their government-issued ID. Critically, verify that the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the paper title exactly matches the VIN on the car’s dashboard and driver-side door jamb.
A lien means a bank or lender still has a financial claim on the vehicle. Look at the front of the Georgia title to find any active lienholders. If you see a lender listed, the seller must provide you with an official paper lien release document from that bank before you can get a clear title in your name.
