Under Georgia law, the license plate belongs to the seller. The seller must take the plate off the car before handing over the keys. You cannot drive the vehicle with the seller's old plate attached.
You have seven days from the date of the sale to visit your county tag office, register the vehicle, pay the TAVT, and get a new license plate. Keep the signed title and dated bill of sale in the vehicle during those first seven days. This paperwork proves you own the car if a police officer pulls you over.
Always look at the original title before you pay the seller. Check that the seller's name exactly matches the name printed on the front of the title. Ask to see their driver's license to confirm their identity. If the title lists a bank or lender, the seller must give you a signed lien release. You cannot register the car in your name without this official release document.
You must visit the Schley County Tax Commissioner's office to handle your title and registration. The main office is located in the county seat of Ellaville. Check the county website for their current operating hours before you make the trip.
Yes. You must buy active auto insurance for the vehicle before you can legally drive it or register it at the tag office. Your insurance company will send proof of your coverage directly to the Georgia state database.
If the seller has an active car loan, the bank holds the title. You and the seller need to contact the lender to arrange a safe payoff process. The lender will then release the lien and hand over the clear title so you can transfer ownership.
